Category: General Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: No console support for non-ASCII characters in Windows

Initial Comment: Since some days/weeks ago, I can't get non-latin characters to be displayed in the Windows console. Usually, they would be transliterated and in yellow, but now I only see either question marks or blocks (if I use an Unicode font). There is an exception for Greek characters which are displayed correctly if I use an Unicode font. As of now, I can't confirm an interwiki link in Cyrilic simply because I can't see what text is in [[ru:????????]]. I use the cp850 encoding. Using cp65001 is not supported by Pywikipedia. It would be great to get the transliteration feature back working. For instance, r9974 worked fine.

Comment on config.py:

############## USER INTERFACE SETTINGS ##############

# The encoding that's used in the user's console, i.e. how strings are encoded # when they are read by raw_input(). On Windows systems' DOS box, this should # be 'cp850' ('cp437' for older versions). Linux users might try 'iso-8859-1' # or 'utf-8'. # This default code should work fine, so you don't have to think about it. # TODO: consider getting rid of this config variable.
