hello Uli, thanks, I think you hit the nail on it's head, PyScripter indeed changes default encoding but ..

None, So I guess it's using the windows default, which is windows-1252, and it's ReadOnly so I can't change it. Can you tell me how I change the default Python encoding, or how to set the encoding in Popen, this is the statement I use to launch my program subprocess.Popen ( [ 'python', Filename ] ) thanks, Stef Mientki When I run this program from PyScripter ( either internal engine or remote engine), MSHTML shows the correct character encoding, perfect!

utf-8 coding sometimes it works, most of the time it don't work.
hello, I've a pyjamas application (python to javascript translator), that can be run (as pure python) in MSHTML (IE Com interface) . When running this python application from the command line ( or launched from another Python program), the wrong character encoding (probably windows-1252) is used. When I run this program from PyScripter ( either internal engine or remote engine), MSHTML shows the correct character encoding, perfect! In the main file, and in the major files that constains strings I've added the following 2 lines: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from __future__ import absolute_import, unicode_literals From the Pyjamas and PyScripter group I've no answer untill now. any clues where to look for the problem ? thanks, Stef Mientki -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
