Category: General Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: windows console encoding problem

Initial Comment: there is a code in wikipedia.py:

if sys.platform=='win32': # Windows gives parameters encoded as windows-1252, # regardless of console encoding arg = unicode(arg, 'windows-1252')

It seems to fix console bug.

but unfortunately, for example if you use cp949 as console encoding, then you will get all non-ascii text cracked. it is because Windows gives gives parameters encoded as cp949, not cp1252.

so I've used a workaround patch from if sys.platform=='win32': to if sys.platform=='win32' and config.console_encoding != 'cp949': to prevent encoding error. I guess some of other non-latin codepages have same trouble but I'm not sure.
