sys.setdefaultencoding(name)

[Askari]

Where is the method : "sys.setdefault encoding(name)" ?

Problem :
I want change the default encoding because I want put french letter :
éÉàÀ...etc in widget with no problem! When I use the method ".get" from a
widget (Text, Entry), the string returned is "fucked"...
In the Entry widget, the text is (with .insert) "été"
When I add a "é" at end (with my keyboard), th result is "étéé" OR a
raised error!

I find, on net, that I must use "sys.setdefault encoding(name)" .
I find find this methode in the doc (official) but the
"setdefaultenco ding" name method is not in the sys module!?! (when I print
"dir(sys)"? ! :-(

That must be a virus or something. Encoding issues normally provide garbled
strings, but not the word "fucked". Somebody is playing jokes with you.

setdefaultencod ing gets removed from sys after execution of site.py /
sitecustomize.p y.

My solution is to grab site.py, dig up "default encoding" and change from
imperalistic ASCII to LATIN-1.

Some told me that avangarde persons also take UTF8.

I doubt that the quotes in the OP indicate a literal string.

euh... I try (the line #2 and #3 in my ".py"):
"""
import site
site.encoding = "latin_1"
"""

but I have this error when I modify a widget (with keyboard) I have this
error :
"""
UnicodeDecodeEr ror: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc9 in position 0:
ordinal not in range(128)
"""

Why?
And, I do the good think? (site.encoding = "latin_1")

No, you do a the bad thing.

You have to EDIT the site.py within python\lib\site .py

open it within an editor, find "ASCII" and replace by latin1

site.encodiging ="Latin_1" just adds an attribute NOBODY cares for to a
module in memory.
