I use macOS High Sierra (10.13.2) and Geany 1.32. I have configured Geany to use the French l10n by creating an empty file ``~/.config/geany/use_locale``. The Geany interface is now in French. Great.
My problem is that in Geany LANG is defined as "fr" and LC_ALL is defined as "" (nothing). I can see that by executing in the Geany Terminal window: ``` [rousseau:~] $ echo $LANG fr [rousseau:~] $ echo $LC_ALL
```
I have configured the lint menu to do: ``pep8 --max-line-length=80 "%f"`` and in the Compilateur window I get: ``` pep8 --max-line-length=80 "dé.py" (dans le dossier : /Users/rousseau/Documents/Sources/Python) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/pep8", line 11, in <module> sys.exit(_main()) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pep8.py", line 2134, in _main report = pep8style.check_files() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pep8.py", line 1842, in check_files runner(path) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pep8.py", line 1854, in input_file return fchecker.check_all(expected=expected, line_offset=line_offset) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pep8.py", line 1619, in check_all return self.report.get_file_results() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pep8.py", line 1750, in get_file_results 'code': code, 'text': text, UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xe9' in position 1: ordinal not in range(128) Compilation échouée. ```
If I hack ``/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany`` to add the line: ``` LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 ``` Then Geany works correctly and I get the expected output: ``` pep8 --max-line-length=80 "dé.py" (dans le dossier : /Users/rousseau/Documents/Sources/Python) dé.py:30:1: E302 expected 2 blank lines, found 0 Compilation échouée. ``` The problem is caused by the accent in the source code file: ``dé.py``. If I rename the file to ``de.py`` then I do not have the problem.
I can also define LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 instead of LC_ALL for the same result.
What is important is to add the ".UTF-8" extension.
