Strange behavior in PythonWin IDE

[Anders Eriksson]

Hello!

I'm using ActivePython 2.3.2 build 232 on Windows 2000 and I have noticed a
strange behavior in PythonWin IDE (win32all build 163)

I'm from Sweden and we have a couple of letters in our alphabet that isn't
part of ASCII and the strangeness is about one of them

When I use the letter å (å) then the next character is eaten! Then
when I enter the next character (the second after å) the last one appears.

E.g.
I want to write the word: "låna"
I enter: "lå
I enter: n ,but it won't show
I enter: a , and the n appears
I enter: " , and a s appears
So in the editor I now have: "låns

If I then enter a " PythonWin thinks that I'm beginning a new string and
changes the color.

If I then save the file and open it in another editor. Then I have the
correct word: "låna"

But if I run the program from the command prompt I get this error/warning

"C:\Documen ts and Settings\ame\My Documents\My Scripts>python test.py
sys:1: DeprecationWarn ing: Non-ASCII character '\xe5' in file test.py on
line 1, but no encoding declared; see
http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details

What is the error and what can I do to fix it?

This bug (and others related to charsets) has been submitted some months
ago...

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=716708&group_id=78018&atid=551954

Perhaps you can help adding other bug scenarios.

Cheers

There are two separate issues here:

1. To eliminate the depreciation warning, you do need to put in the
correct pep-0263 character set declaration line. I believe this will
become a fatal error in 2.4

However, the other problem isn't a Python problem as far as I know:
I believe the editor portion is written in C++. I could be wrong on
that, but please try reproducing the problem under IDLE.

OK, I didn't know that PythonWin was on SourceForge, but I will try there
instead.

Thank You !

Ok! I understand how to enter the encoding line, but I can't find any list
of which encodings that are legal. Is there such a list?

The Python Library Reference, Section 4.9.2: Standard Encodings

In Sweden, as in most of western Europe, you're probably looking for
latin_1 or iso-8859-15 (the same with Euro currency symbol).

Or, since you're on Windows, cp1252...
