I thought it was hard-coded into the Python executable at compile time, but that is apparently not the case:
[...@mickey:~]$ python Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Feb 11 2010, 00:51:29) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys;print sys.stdin.encoding UTF-8 >>> ^D [...@mickey:~]$ echo 'import sys;print sys.stdin.encoding' | python None [...@mickey:~]$ And indeed, trying to pipe unicode into Python doesn't work, even though it works fine when Python runs interactively. So how can I make this work? Thanks, rg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
