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

Rule #1: If you know the correct encoding, set it yourself. This
particularly applies to files you open yourself (use the codec module). In
the case of your program, I guess the stream with the faulty encoding is
stdin/stdout, who's encoding is guessed by Python, but which you can
override. Check sys.stdin.encoding.

Interesting, I would say that PyScripter sets up the environment
differently, so that Python guesses a different encoding. Also make sure
both are calling the same Python, I get 'cp850' or 'US-ASCII' depending on
whether I call the native MS Windows Python or the Cygwin Python.

This shouldn't matter. This just tells Python that the sourcecode itself is
encoded in UTF-8 and that you want to use Unicode names in your string
literals, it doesn't affect the output of your program.

utf-8 coding sometimes it works, most of the time it don't work.

2010-09-21 Thread Stef Mientki


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
