Re: non standard path characters


I thing you should change the code page before to run the test, doing
something like :

c:\> chcp 850
c:\> ....\python.exe ......\test.py

look for the good code page for you, maybe 850, 437 or 1230 or 1250
should work

somewhere in the tests we look at the path and then try and convert to utf8 for
display in pdf.

Is there a standard way to do these path string conversions?

Paths appear to come from all sorts of places and given the increasing use of
zip file packaging it doesn't seem appropriate to rely on the current platform
as a single choice for the default encoding.
