According to the documentation, in Python 2.7.3, shlex should support UNICODE. However, when running the code below, I get: UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 184-189: ordinal not in range(128)
Am I doing something wrong?
import shlex
command_full = u'software.py -fileA="sequence.fasta" -fileB="新建文本文档.fasta.txt" -output_dir="..." -FORMtitle="tst"'
shlex.split(command_full)
The exact error is following:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/shlex.py", line 275, in split
lex = shlex(s, posix=posix)
File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/shlex.py", line 25, in __init__
instream = StringIO(instream)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 44-49: ordinal not in range(128)
This is output from my mac using python from macports. I am getting exactly the same error on Ubuntu machine with "native" python 2.7.3.
