#1149 Literal Strings Default Encoding

[Anonymous]

As told in the mail list ('Pydev vs Python Interpreter'), there is some strange problem with the way that strings are used in PyDev, it should mimic exactly what the console interpreter would do in the default system shell, and that's not happening. In the attachment, i put two codes for testing purpose (one single line), the codes are commented with their intents.

But basically the problem is:

print unicode("ã") # Should not work unicode decode as ascii by default

print u"ã" # Should work, the console output should be capable of showing unicode strings

I'm using pydev 1.5.7, python 2.4.5 and Ubuntu 8.10
