Issues

#132 History file broken on OS X (encoding problem)

Reported anonymously

repl.py attempts to load a history file using locale.getpreferredencoding().

However, on OS X (10.6, Snow Leopard, US edition), this function returns and empty string on Python 2.5, 2.6, and 2.7. And attempting to load a file with an empty encoding raises an exception.

The following is a quick fix to repl.py, but I don't know if it breaks other platforms:

352c352
<             self.rl_history.load(pythonhist, getpreferredencoding())
---
>             self.rl_history.load(pythonhist, getpreferredencoding() or 'ascii')
Status: resolved Responsible: Simon de Vlieger Type: bug Priority: major

    Thanks, this issue can also be fixed by setting the env variable LC_ALL. I had every other locale env var set:

    LANG="fi_FI.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="fi_FI.UTF-8" LC_CTYPE="fi_FI" LC_MESSAGES="fi_FI.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="fi_FI.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="fi_FI.UTF-8" LC_TIME="fi_FI.UTF-8" LC_ALL=

    When I noticed that, I tried: LC_ALL='fi_FI.UTF-8' bpython-2.6

    And it worked!
