I'm running python 2.6 with latest IPython on Windows XP SP3, and I have two questions. First one of my problems is, when under IPython, I cannot input Unicode strings directly, and, as a result, cannot open files with non-latin names. Let me demonstrate. Under usual python this works:
>>> sys.getdefaultencoding()
'ascii'
>>> sys.getfilesystemencoding()
'mbcs'
>>> fd = open(u'm:/Блокнот/home.tdl')
>>> print u'm:/Блокнот/home.tdl'
m:/Блокнот/home.tdl
>>>
It's cyrillic in there, by the way. And under the IPython I get:
In [49]: sys.getdefaultencoding()
Out[49]: 'ascii'
In [50]: sys.getfilesystemencoding()
Out[50]: 'mbcs'
In [52]: fd = open(u'm:/Блокнот/home.tdl')
