[New-bugs-announce] [issue7768] raw_input should encode unicode prompt with std.stdout.encoding.

[Naoki INADA]

New submission from Naoki INADA <songofacandy at gmail.com>:

raw_input and input should take unicode prompt and encode with sys.stdout.encoding like print or input in py3k.

>>> u = u"あいう"
>>> print u
あいう
>>> x = raw_input(u)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-2: ordinal not in range(128)
>>> import sys
>>> sys.stdout.encoding
'cp932'
