[Jython-bugs] [issue2073] Conversion of str-Instances does not use Java's default charset

[Oliver M. <re...@bu...>]

New submission from Oliver Matz:

strval = "schön"
hexval = ':'.join(x.encode('hex') for x in strval)
print hexval

correctly outputs: 73:63:68:c3:b6:6e
so the german o-umlaut (unicode \u00fc) is correctly converted to the utf-8 byte sequence "c3 b6"

It should be possible to configure jython in such a way that if I pass strval to a Java-Method, then the str is correctly converted back to "schön".

However, jython invokes the Java-method with the 6-character string value "schön", i.e., the o-umlaut has been replaced by the two characters \u00c3 \u00b6.
