[issue9409] doctest in python2.7 can't handle non-ascii characters

[Ezio Melotti]

Ezio Melotti <ezio.melotti at gmail.com> added the comment:

This change has been introduced in r79307 (see #7667).
The error seems to be raised because example.source is not unicode so it gets decoded implicitly before getting encoded with ascii+backslashreplace. I don't know if example.source is always supposed to be str or if the type might be different in some situations.
