Fwd: [pygame] loading images with special characters on file name

[Rodolfo Neu <rneu2011@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I hope that find a solution:

 

You have to create a Python module named sitecustomize.py, with the lines:

import sys
sys.setfilesystemencoding('utf-8')

 

Now my program is working again.

I found this solution in

http://diveintopython.org/xml_processing/unicode.html

 

Do you believe that it is the best one?

 

Thank for any comments

 

Bye

I had pygame-1.9.1.win32-py3.1
According to your advice I installed pygame-1.9.2pre.win32-py3.1

but the problem remains.


here is my code (sending also an attached zip with the images)

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8  -*-

import os, pygame

def loadImage(fullname):
    try:
        surface = pygame.image.load(fullname)
        print ("image loaded=", fullname)
    except:
        print( 'Cannot load image:', fullname)
              
loadImage(os.path.join("figuras", "carro.jpeg"))
loadImage(os.path.join("figuras", "maçã.jpeg")) #problem
loadImage(os.path.join("figuras", "árvore.jpeg")) #problem
loadImage(os.path.join("figuras", "canetas.jpeg"))

Hi,

Which version of Pygame. Proper Unicode file name handling was added to 1.9.2. Before that only enough Unicode support was added to Pygame so it would build and run in Python 3.

Thank you.

   I doubt that this is related to your problem, but since you're
   using Python 3, shouldn't that shebang be "#!/usr/bin/python3"?

   Hi,
   After installing Python 3.1.3, I have problems loading images
   whose file name contains special characters, like ã and ç

   Pygame.image.load doesn't work even with:
   #!/usr/bin/python
   # -*- coding utf-8 -*-


   Any help, please?
