[issue13395] Python ISO-8859-1 encoding problem

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

Apparently, you are using the interactive shell on Microsoft Windows. This will use the "OEM code page"; which one that is depends on the exact Windows regional version you are using.

You shouldn't decode the string with 'latin-1', but with sys.stdin.encoding. Alternatively, you should use Unicode string literals in Python in the first place.

In any case, Ezio is right: this is not a help forum, but a bug tracker.
