[issue6906] Tkinter sets an unicode environment variable on win32

2010-02-01 Thread Jon Foster 

Jon Foster jon.fos...@cabot.co.uk added the comment:

This bug also breaks code that uses the subprocess module, e.g.:

env = os.environ.copy()
env['MY_VARIABLE'] = 'MY_VAL'
subprocess.Popen(... , env=env)

Fails on Windows 7 with an error that the environment can only contain strings. 
 The offending variables are TK_LIBRARY and TCL_LIBRARY, which have Unicode 
strings as their values.  I'm using Python 2.6.2.

(The subprocess module should probably be fixed to use CreateProcessW and 
handle Unicode, but that's a separate issue).

[issue6906] Tkinter sets an unicode environment variable on win32

2009-10-28 Thread Tim Hatch 

Tim Hatch t...@timhatch.com added the comment:

I'm running the exact same version as Gabriel (on Windows 7, 32 bit)
from the python.org installer, and have the same behavior as Michał. 
Checking FixTk.py it appears that on Vista and above, it calls the Win32
API GetFinalPathNameByHandleW to expand symbolic links, but this is a -W
function, not a -A so it deals with unicode.

The blame shows this function was added in response to #3881

For my system, the paths are all lower ascii so changing the end of
convert_path to return str(s) works.  I don't know anything about
filesystem encodings on Windows to do a more correct conversion.

[issue6906] Tkinter sets an unicode environment variable on win32

2009-09-16 Thread Gabriel Genellina 

Gabriel Genellina gagsl-...@yahoo.com.ar added the comment:

I cannot reproduce it with the python.org version:

Python 2.6.2 (r262:71605, Apr 14 2009, 22:40:02) [MSC v.1500 32 bit 
(Intel)] on
win32

py import Tkinter
py import os
py os.environ['TK_LIBRARY']
'D:\\apps\\Python26\\tcl\\tk8.5'
py any(isinstance(value,unicode) for value in os.environ.values())
False

This might be an ActiveState issue.

[issue6906] Tkinter sets an unicode environment variable on win32

2009-09-14 Thread Michał Pasternak 

New submission from Michał Pasternak michal@gmail.com:

Hi,

I was recently playing with txAmpoule  Twisted on win32. When Twisted spawns 
processess, the 
environment is checked for unicode variables (and an exception is raised in 
case of). Then it 
came to my attention, that importing Tkinter on win32 sets an environment 
variable, which value 
is Unicode. Just have a look:

C:\python
ActivePython 2.6.2.2 (ActiveState Software Inc.) based on
Python 2.6.2 (r262:71600, Apr 21 2009, 15:05:37) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on 
win32
Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information.
 import Tkinter
 import os
 os.environ['TK_LIBRARY']
u'C:\\Python26\\tcl\\tk8.5'
 ^Z

Why is it Unicode? Does it really have to be? Do we need that environment 
variable at all?

On Linux, it is different:

r...@foo:~# python
Python 2.6.2 (release26-maint, Apr 19 2009, 01:56:41)
[GCC 4.3.3] on linux2
Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information.
 import Tkinter
 import os
 os.environ['TK_LIBRARY']
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File stdin, line 1, in module
  File /usr/lib/python2.6/UserDict.py, line 22, in __getitem__
raise KeyError(key)
KeyError: 'TK_LIBRARY'
