Reply with quote

Hi, i'm developing an Amarok-1.4 clone and I have a weird issue going on in Gentoo with Unicode. It seems to complain about code that shouldn't.

Code:

>>> a = "Bj\xc3\xb6rk"
>>> b = a.decode("utf-8")
>>> print b
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf6' in position 2: ordinal not in range(128)
>>>

However, whenever I run the same on Ubuntu this is what I get:

Code:

>>> a = "Bj\xc3\xb6rk"
>>> b = a.decode("utf-8")
>>> print b
Björk

What is causing the error in Gentoo?

Solved it. I didn't have "LANG="en_GB.UTF-8"" in /etc/env.d/02locale
