Accentuated Characters in pythonqt

[Emmanuel Nicolas]

Hi,

I want to send paths from C++ to python, and for this I need to be able to transfer some strings from the main C++ code to the python script. However, I am having trouble with accentuated characters:

If I execute this code:

pythonModule.evalScript(QString("print('Téléchargements')"));

Then I get the following output from python:

File "<string>", line 1:
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 0: unexpected end of data

Any idea as to how I could transfer those accentuated characters?

I found that this is actually also the case in the PyScriptingConsole example: if you type print('é') in the command line, you end up with the same unicode error.

Further testing:

If I am doing print('é') from a py file that I evaluate, no problem upon calling the function.

When doing

QString e = QString::fromUtf8("é");
pythonModule.evalScript(QString("print(%1)").arg(e));

I get the error message:
print(�)
SyntaxError: invalid character in identifier

But doing:

pythonModule.evalScript("print('é')");
pythonModule.evalScript("print('\u00e9')");

I still get:
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 0: unexpected end of data

Typing all these possibilities straight in python console perfectly works, so I assume it is an encoding problem. Any ideas?
