Answer 1

To support the unicode eclipse console:

• Add -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8to eclipse.ini, which is located in the eclipse installation directory.
• In eclipse - Run\Run Configurations\Python Run\configuration\Common\make sure UTF-8 is selected
• In eclipse - Window\Preferences\General\Workspace\Text file encoding\make sure UTF-8 is selected
• B [python install path]\Lib\site.py- go from encoding = "ascii"toencoding = "utf-8"
• Make sure you use unicode supporting fonts in eclipse - Window\Preferences\Appearance\Colors and Fonts\Debug\Console font\Edit

During the installation process, I did all of the above:

print(u"שלום עולם")         # Doesn't work
print("שלום עולם")          # Works

django:

print(my_model.my_field)                 # Doesn't work
print(my_model.my_field.encode('utf-8')) # Works

Answer 3

PYTHONIOENCODING is a pretty good general way to solve this problem. However, the Eclipse way to install the locale of its console is as follows:

Set Run Configuration :

• Change Run Configuration
• Click on the "General" tab .
• Set encoding "UTF-8"
