Hello,
I want to copy files using subprocess.call or os.system where the file
names are non-ascii, e.g. Serbian(latin), c's and s's with hacheks,etc.
Windows stores all the file names in unicode so they are displayed ok in
explorer, and I can read them into my program with listdir(u'.'), etc.
and work with the names in the program.
os.rename()
can be used to rename such files successfully.
But I want to be able to copy files using:
cmdstr = u'copy' +u' /Y "'+pair[0]+u'" "'+pair[1]+u'"\n'
cmdstr = cmdstr.encode(sys.getfilesystemencoding())
try: retcode = sp.call(cmdstr, shell=True) #SP=SUBPROCESS
but the encoding can't handle all the characters and so the file isn't
found to be copied. sp.call() returns 1. 'mbcs' encoding doesn't work
either. 'utf-8' doesn't work.
I am very confused about unicode. Can someone point me in the right
direction?
windows xp sp2
python 2.6.2 unicode
Use the shutil module.
