[Matplotlib-users] encoding of files included in sphinx

Development matplotlib-devel
1

Hi,

just wanted to raise this problem on the devel list, where it probably belongs. Also, if nobody has time to look at it now and you prefer me to file a bug, please don’t hesitate to tell it.

the original post is there: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.matplotlib.general/20411

Cheers

This is a bug – but it has a fairly straightforward fix: to use Sphinx’s “include” directive rather than roll our own as we currently do. This has been fixed in SVN r7972. plot-directive now takes an “encoding” option, exactly like the Sphinx include directive. It does not do automatic encoding detection (meaning it ignores the “# coding: latin1” comments), just as the Sphinx include directive does.

Hello Michael,

thank you for your fast reply and action. I just tried with the version from trunk (r7978) and I still have an encoding problem on the same test case. It seems to happen when the file is ran (to produce the figure) rather than when it is included. I had a look at the code, but cannot understand what is happenning, I would have expected imp to proprely guess the encoding.

Could you tell me if you have the same problem ? Do you have any idea of what is going on ?

Thanks !

Sorry this thread fell through the cracks. Thanks for the reminder.

The error is not actually on importing and parsing the .py file (it
seems to do that just fine). The error is on printing to the console,
at which point it tries to convert the Unicode string to ascii (which
fails because it has character points > 127). One way around this
is to encode Unicode as UTF-8 (which seems to be the default for most
modern Linux X terminals etc.), eg.:

print(u"accent aigus é".encode("utf8"))
