Vim and Python says the encoding is ANSI_X3.4-1968












7














In Vim, the following command (using Python 3.4.3) outputs ANSI_X3.4-1968:



:!python -c "import sys; print(sys.stdout.encoding)"



However, I want UTF-8 everywhere.



In .vimrc, I do have set encoding=utf-8 and my locale is set correctly to nb_NO.UTF-8.



UTF-8 in general works fine. The only problem is when executing commands with :! in Vim.



How can I run the command above, in Vim, in a way that makes the output become UTF-8?

    !PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 python -c "import sys; print(sys.stdout.encoding)" does the job for me but I'm sure there's a better way

  • Thank you! Setting PYTHONIOENCODING to utf-8 works. How incredibly peculiar that this isn't the default everywhere, though.

    @Alexander See bugs.python.org/issue13643 for why it is not the default.

In python or other scripting language, you have shebang line in first line such as :



#!/usr/bin/env python


Then you can specify your encoding in line 2 such as :



# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-


Of course second line only work on python.
