I want to write a string to an already-open file (sys.stdout, typically).
However, I *don't* want encoding errors, and the string could be arbitrary
Unicode (in theory). The best way I've found is
data = data.encode(file.encoding, errors='replace').decode(file.encoding)
file.write(data)
(I'd probably use backslashreplace rather than replace, but that's a minor
point).
Is that the best way? The multiple re-encoding dance seems a bit clumsy, but it
was the best I could think of.
Thanks,
Paul.
If you're going to take charge of the encoding of the file, why not just
open the file in binary, and do it all with
file.write(data.encode( myencoding, errors='replace') )
i can't see the benefit of two encodes and a decode just to write a
string to the file.
Alternatively, there's probably a way to open the file using
codecs.open(), and reassign it to sys.stdout.
