[Windows: Problems with unicode output to console]
You can isolate the error by noting that the second one only raises an
exception when you try to print it. That suggests that the problem is
that it contains a character which is not defined in your terminal's
codepage. So let's inspect the strings more carefully:
py> a = u"µm"
py> b = u"\u03bcm"
py> a == b
False
py> ord(a[0]), ord(b[0])
(181, 956)
py> import unicodedata
py> unicodedata.name(a[0])
'MICRO SIGN'
py> unicodedata.name(b[0])
'GREEK SMALL LETTER MU'
Does codepage 850 include Greek Small Letter Mu? The evidence suggests it
does not.
If you can, you should set the terminal's encoding to UTF-8. That will
avoid this sort of problem.
Thanks for the clarification.
For the archives: Setting the console codepage to 65001 and the font to
lucida console helps.
