New submission from jeff deifik <j...@jeffunit.com>: I am calling filecmp.cmp on a two files, one of which has a name of
'./Julio_Iglesias-Un_Hombre_Solo-05-Qu\udce9_no_se_rompa_la_noche.mp3' I get an exception from filecmp.cmp saying: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\udce9' in position 37: ordinal not in range(128) I do not understand why filecmp.cmp cares what the encoding of the names of the files are, as long as they are valid files. I would think filecmp.cmp would only care about the content of the files. When I give it pure ascii names, filecmp.cmp works file, however some of my files have udce9 encoded names. This is on a windows xp machine running cygwin (linux emulation). I built and compiled python3.1 from source. ---------- messages: 92613 nosy: jdeifik severity: normal status: open title: python 3.1 - filecmp.cmp exception based on file name type: behavior versions: Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6909> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
