Recently, I was working on a Windows GUI application that ends up running ffmpeg, and I wanted to see the command that was being run. However, the file name had a Unicode character in it (it's a Sawano song), and when I tried to print it to the console, it crashed during the encode/decode. (The encoding used in cmd doesn't support Unicode characters.)
The workaround was to do: print(mystring.encode(sys.stdout.encoding, errors='replace).decode(sys.stdout.encoding)) Not fun, especially since this was *just* a debug print. The proposal: why not add an 'errors' argument to print? That way, I could've just done: print(mystring, errors='replace') without having to worry about it crashing. -- Ryan (ライアン) Yoko Shimomura > ryo (supercell/EGOIST) > Hiroyuki Sawano >> everyone else http://refi64.com
