Re: Unicode conversion in 'print'

[Ricardo Bugalho]

Hi, 
 thanks for the information. But what I was really looking for was
informaion on when and why Python started doing it (previously, it always
used sys.getdefaultencoding())) and why it was done only for 'print' when
stdout is a terminal instead of always.

Unicode conversion in 'print'

[Ricardo Bugalho]

Hello,
 I'm using Python 2.3.4 and I noticed that, when stdout is a terminal, the
'print' statement converts Unicode strings into the encoding defined by
the locales instead of the one returned by sys.getdefaultencoding().
However, I can't find any references to it. Anyone knows where it's
descrbed?

Example:

!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import sys, locale

print 'Python encoding:', sys.getdefaultencoding()
print 'System encoding:', locale.getpreferredencoding()
print 'Test string: ', u'Olà mundo'


If stdout is a terminal, works fine
$ python x.py
Python encoding: ascii
System encoding: UTF-8
Test string:  Olà mundo

If I redirect the output to a file, raises an UnicodeEncodeError exception
$ python x.py > x.txt
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "x.py", line 8, in ?
print 'Test string: ', u'Olà mundo'
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe1' in position 2: 
ordinal not in range(128)
