Hi, my locale is en_US.iso88591
But now I'd like to process a restructuredtext file which is encoded in utf-8. rst2html has #!/usr/bin/python3.3 # $Id: rst2html.py 4564 2006-05-21 20:44:42Z wiemann $ # Author: David Goodger <good...@python.org> # Copyright: This module has been placed in the public domain. """ A minimal front end to the Docutils Publisher, producing HTML. """ try: import locale locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '') except: pass from docutils.core import publish_cmdline, default_description description = ('Generates (X)HTML documents from standalone reStructuredText ' 'sources. ' + default_description) publish_cmdline(writer_name='html', description=description) -------------- Even if I comment out the part containing 'import locale' the utf-8 encoding of my rst-file is not recognized. How can I change this so that rst2html use utf-8 when reading and writing files. Of course, I don't want to change the docutils package for that. Many thanks for a hint, Helmut -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
