[Jython-bugs] [issue2036] Encoding bug in IO

[Andreas S. <re...@bu...>]

New submission from Andreas Stocker:

There is a problem with handling unicode characters on the interactive console. It also affects the values of GET and POST parameters on Django - so I guess it is related to any kind of buffers and streams.

When I start the interactive console, I get following output (German locale):
> M�rz 31, 2013 - 09:04:29
where I should get:
> März 31, 2013 - 09:04:29

If I type in an umlaut via the keyboard (eg. ö), � prints on the screen.

All this stuff is working fine in Jython 2.5.x on the same system. I tried various encoding related parameters, with no effect.

My system:
* OS: Debian wheezy
* Java: OpenJDK Server VM (Oracle Corporation)] on java1.7.0_03

Attached a screenshot showing the problem.
