use UTF-8 output to make STDOUT parseable 2020-08-20-16.10

Open benchonaut opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

after trying python3 wpbullet .... 2>&1 | iconv and many other variants , it turned out that either a ugly script to rectify unprintable characters or tricking python into utf8 was necessary to feed text2html ..

After lots of googling , it turned out that python3 has to be told to use utf-8 by default ( https://stackoverflow.com/Questions/4374455/how-to-set-sys-stdout-encoding-in-python-3 )

With pyton3.6 or the sys.stdout.reconfigure(encoding='utf-8') line could be uncommented and stdout would output utf-8 as default .

Regards
