New submission from pablo stapff <pablo.sta...@gmail.com>: We use umlaut in our docstrings and when we use the help() function to extract the documentation, the function reports an error:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character.... Our docstrings are specified as unicode literals and the source file contains the line: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- just import the module and make: help(tudelut.tudelut) ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: tudelut.py messages: 97584 nosy: psd severity: normal status: open title: help() doesn't accept unicode literals in built in docstrings type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file15827/tudelut.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7675> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
