I have a problem with encoding in python 27 shell.
when i write this in the python shell:
w=u'العربى'
It gives me the following error:
Unsupported characters in input
any help?
Maybe it is not Python related. Did you get an exception? Can you send a
full traceback? I suspect that the error comes from your terminal, and
not Python. Please make sure that your terminal supports UTF-8 encoding.
Alternatively, try creating a file with this content:
# -*- encoding: UTF-8 -*-
w=u'العربى'
Save it as UTF-8 encoded file "test.py" (with an UTF-8 compatible
editor, for example Geany) and run it as a command:
python test.py
If it works then it is sure that the problem is with your terminal. It
will be an OS limitation, not Python's limitation.
Best,
