Have you set any console encoding in your user-config?
What is the
output of chcp in a dos screen? They might have a mismatch, causing
the EURO not to be changed by the pwb code (the yellow ?'s), but changed
afterwards by the console.
The fact is that my life is a continous fight with console encoding. This
is the dark side of being Hungarian in the world of computers (despite the
many Hungarian founder fathers of computing). :-(((
It was never perfect on my previous computer with Hungarian Windows XP
Prof. That computer is already dead.
Than I changed to a laptop that had an English XP Home. I was glad to see
that I could write the encoding found in output of "mode" command to
user-config.py, and everything was perfect! For a while.
My present computer is a Hungarian Windows 7 (6.1.7601). Mode/chchp
commands write codepage 852. I wrote it to user-config.py but was not good.
I had to experiment a lot.
The good news is that I tried it again now after your nightly commits to
Pywiki and it seems to be good!!! That's great! I can write accented
Hungarian letters again. (By this time I could do it at the command prompt
but not witih Pywikibot, e.g. when letting replace.py to ask the old and
new text or summary).
Euro sign works like this: I copied
EURO<http://hu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Semmi&action=edit&…
Wikipedia to command line. It appeared as a gray "?" again (see the
screenshot in the other thread), but was interpreted correctly.
C:\Pywikipedia>p replace.py -page:User:BinBot/semmi
Please enter the text that should be replaced: ?
Please enter the new text: ee

Getting 1 page from wikipedia:hu...
Upon replacing the Euro sign appeared as a red *?* as it was the old text
to be replaced, and the result is:
http://hu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Szerkeszt%C5%91:BinBot/semmi&…
So I can write now, I can paste now, the only problem is with displaying.
(I still cannot paste Russian Cyrillic text to command line but that is my
least problem in the moment, I will write a wrapper script for that.)
