Brett Cannon br...@python.org added the comment: Your OS is using an encoding called cp720 which Python knows nothing about. That means it can't open stdout, stderr, or stdin properly for reading/writing according to your set codec. You need to use a codec recognized by Python or add support for your codec to allow it to run. -- nosy: +brett.cannon resolution: - invalid status: open - closed ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue7496 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
