Hi !

It seems that the console does not like accents.
For example if you run the following code (iso-8859-1 or utf-8 encoding):

print 'a'
print 'é'
print 'b'

You'll only see 'a'. The accent seems to screw the console (pys60 1.4.2 on a 6630).

Ludo.

PS: Is there a way to change a S60 GUI language to english with a 'special' reflash ?

Confirmed. The command...

>>> print 'caf\xe9'

...seems to crash the console, whereas...

>>> print u'caf\xe9'
café

...works file. The inclusion of the Unicode delimiter may be a documented caveat.

In fact I found this bug by running 'print time.ctime(time.time())' because in my locale the current month is 'février'.

So, should I always convert to unicode like this ?
print unicode(time.ctime(time.time(), 'latin-1')

Bug or feature :-) ?

Well, for now, you don't seem to have any other choice.

No idea. Feels like a bug to me. Check to see if it has been reported on the SourceForge bug tracker, and, if not, report it.
