STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: amaury> since the prompt is written to stderr, why is sys.stdout.encoding amaury> used instead of sys.stderr.encoding?
input() calls PyOS_Readline() but PyOS_Readline() has multiple implementations: - PyOS_StdioReadline() if sys_stdin or sys_stdout is not a TTY - or PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer callback: - vms__StdioReadline() (VMS only) - PyOS_StdioReadline() - call_readline() when readline module is loaded call_readline() calls rl_callback_handler_install() with the prompt which writes the prompt to *stdout* (try ./python 2>/dev/null). I don't think that it really matters that the prompt is written to stderr with stdout encoding, because both outputs always use the same encoding. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8256> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
