Encoding error with sublime text 2 and Python

Question

After struggling with encoding problems in a rows-rich code in sublime text 2, I decided to make a simpler experiment. I used the following code, trying to print in Chinese :

#!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- print('你好')

When running in sublime text, I receive the following error:

File "D:\xampp\htdocs\stam\chinese print try.py", line 4, in <module> print('\u4f60\u597d') File "d:\Python34\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 19, in encode return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_table)[0] UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 0-1: character maps to <undefined> [Finished in 0.2s with exit code 1]

And here is the big but. When I run the code through the regular Python GUI, everything's fine. It prints.

I tried looking here but didn't understand how it can help me (which could indeed be my lack of understanding in sublime text configuration).

Thanks for your kind help.

It seems you're trying to print on a console that's using cp1252 encoding. Is normal it yields an error since that encoding doesn't support chinese characters. You need to set a proper encoding for your console with chcp command. — Paulo Bu

Thanks @PauloBu, I tried to dig into that but it didn't find how to make it happen. Can I trouble you for directions? — Yoav Vollansky

Similar to this printing UTF-8 in Python 3 using Sublime Text 3

You can modify or add a new build and include "env": {"PYTHONIOENCODING": "utf8"} in the build file.

For example, the new build file should look like the following (windows 7):

{ "cmd": ["your_path\\python.exe", "-u", "$file"], "file_regex": "^[ ]File \"(...?)\", line ([0-9]*)", "selector": "source.python", "env": {"PYTHONIOENCODING": "utf8"} }

See this: http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_765abd7b0101dtbw.html

I do these two things which finally solved this problem:

In code, addimport sys reload(sys) sys.setdefaultencoding("utf-8")
in Python.sublime-build, add "encoding":"utf-8"
