Sublime Text console not showing lines with accents


In Sublime Text 2 and 3, the console output doesn't show the lines with accents on it:

Example  

I'm using Tools > Build in vanilla Sublime in Windows with automatic Build System to execute it.

Is there any fix to this?


Solution

  • Set the encoding of standard system output in your document to UTF-8:

    import sys
    import codecs
    
    sys.stdout = codecs.getwriter( "utf-8" )( sys.stdout.detach() )
    
    print( "1" )
    print( "áéíóúý âêîôû äëïöü àèìòù ãñõ" )
    print( "2" )
    

    To automatically apply UTF-8 encoded output to all documents, implement the previous method as an inline command within your Python.sublime-build file.

    After the encoding has been set, your document is loaded via exec within the inline command.

    {
        "cmd": [ "python", "-u", "-c", "import sys; import codecs; sys.stdout = codecs.getwriter( 'utf-8' )( sys.stdout.detach() ); exec( compile( open( r'$file', 'rb' ).read(), r'$file', 'exec'), globals(), locals() )" ],
        "file_regex": "^[ ]*File \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]*)",
        "selector": "source.python",
    
        "variants":
        [
            {
                "name": "Syntax Check",
                "shell_cmd": "python -m py_compile \"${file}\"",
            }
        ]
    }
    

    Tip: Use PackageResourceViewer to create a user copy of Python.sublime-build
