Description Granville Xiong 2007-07-01 16:36:28 UTC
Description of problem:

It seems that the Python 2.5 in F7 is linked with ncurses so that the display of
UTF-8 characters seems messed up.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

2.5-12.fc7

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try this small code:

#! /usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import curses, locale
s = curses.initscr()
s.addstr(u'\u20ac U+20ac Euro Dollar\n'.encode('utf-8'))
s.refresh()
s.getstr()
curses.endwin()

2.
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:

How about link python to ncursesw library contained in
ncurses-5.6-6.20070303.fc7 to solve this UTF-8 problem?

Sounds good; fixed in CVS.  Assuming it plays out okay in rawhide, will get
pushed to F7-updates at some point

Comment 2 Granville Xiong 2007-07-08 02:07:52 UTC
Wonderful! This is very nice! Thank you!
P.S. Where can I download the updated version to try it out first? Thanks!
