[Pyenchant-users] Issue with (personal) dict with extended characters in path (Win32)

[Fredrik C. <fre...@gm...>]

Hi,
If you have a dict located in a path with extended (Unicode)
characters enchant raises "enchant.Error: Couldn't open personal
wordlist".
e.g Dict is placed in "c:\personal_dict\åäö\personal_dictionary.txt".

Code:
------------------
import enchant
dict = enchant.DictWithPWL('en-US',u'c:/personal_dict/\xe5\xe4\xf6/personal_dictionary.txt')
------------------

Result:
------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "c:\python25\lib\site-packages\enchant\__init__.py", line 708,
in __init__
    self.pwl = self._broker.request_pwl_dict(pwl)
  File "c:\python25\lib\site-packages\enchant\__init__.py", line 305,
in request_pwl_dict
    self._raise_error(eStr % (pwl,))
  File "c:\python25\lib\site-packages\enchant\__init__.py", line 218,
in _raise_error
    raise eclass(err)
enchant.Error: Couldn't open personal wordlist
'c:/personal_dict/åäö/personal_dictionary.txt'
------------------

Is it a enchant bug or pyenchant and what encoding does enchant expect?

Regards,
Fredrik
