There are non-ASCII chars in pydoc.__credits__ (the "o/" in "Mynd you, mo/o/se bites Kan be pretty nasti..."). In 2.3, a locale declaration of Latin-1 was added to pydoc.py. So now Python does not complain -- but a string object (carrying no encoding info) with Latin-1 bytes is still created and anynoby running in a non-Latin-1 locale will not interpret the string correctly. The patch fixes it by making pydoc.__credits__ a Unicode string. *Note that this may break code* that prints pydoc.__credits__ (in locales that can't encode it) or otherwise assumes it's a string. Not that such code exists anywhere... Wait, ``import pydoc; help(pydoc)`` in "C" locale now crashes <wink>! This is too ironic, IMHO, *don't commit* until pydoc learns to handle unicode robustly... |

Logged In: YES user_id=36166 I told you not to commit! Now ``pydoc.py pydoc`` crashes. Patch 1065986 fixes this. |
