I'd like to use the subprocess module with upper level characters in
the process name or in the arguments to the process. Something like
this:
cmd = [ u'test_\u65e5\u 672c\u8a9e_exec .bat', u'arg1', u'arg2' ]
subprocess.call (cmd)
But this gives the error:
UnicodeEncodeEr ror: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position
5-7: ordinal not in range(128)
Is there a way around this problem? I don't want to assume any
particular set of characters. The example above uses Japanese
characters, but I would like to support anything.
Thanks.

You have to encode those unicode objects anyway - but you don't have to
assume any encoding.
Your .bat file will be executed by CMD.EXE, and the shell expects a string
- doesn't understand unicode objects. Like when you type that same
commands on the console.
Use sys.getfilesyst emencoding() to obtain the required encoding (likely
"mbcs"):
fse = sys.getfilesyst emencoding()
cmd = [arg.encode(fse) if isinstance(arg, unicode) else arg
for arg in cmd]

Thanks! That worked perfectly.

Hi,
I've used subprocess with 2.4 several times to execute a process, wait
for it to finish, and then look at its output. Now I want to spawn

kill the process. This seems straightforward, but it...
