utf-8 coding sometimes it works, most of the time it don't work.

hello Uli,

thanks, I think you hit the nail on it's head,
PyScripter indeed changes default encoding
but ..

None,
So I guess it's using the windows default, which is windows-1252,
and it's ReadOnly so I can't change it.

Can you tell me how I change the default Python encoding,
or how to set the encoding in Popen, this is the statement I use to launch
my program

subprocess.Popen ( [ 'python', Filename ] )

thanks,
Stef Mientki
