I'm calling pipe.communicate
from Python's subprocess
module from Python 2.6. I get the following error from this code:
from subprocess import Popen
pipe = Popen(cwd)
pipe.communicate( data )
For an arbitrary cwd
, and where data
that contains unicode (specifically 0xE9):
Exec. exception: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 507: ordinal not in range(128) Traceback (most recent call last):
... stdout, stderr = pipe.communicate( data )
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 671, in communicate return self._communicate(input)
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 1177, in _communicate bytes_written = os.write(self.stdin.fileno(), chunk)
This is happening, I presume, because pipe.communicate()
is expecting ASCII encoded string, but data
is unicode.
Is this the problem I'm encountering, and i sthere a way to pass unicode to pipe.communicate()
?
Thank you for reading!
