panda 1.8.1 here, on Window7
I recently fixed my application to load some files as unicode. Now I get the “p3dpythonw.exe has stopped working” message, and no exception or stack trace in the log.
I used my import interceptor to discover this happens during an attempt to import “encodings.utf_8”, which if I dump a trace when that is imported, I can see its imported by:
File “core\help.py”, line 107, in fromFile
File “codecs”, line 884, in open
File “c:\python27\lib\encodings_init_.py”, line 100, in search_function
File “core\importtracker.py”, line 15, in _newImport
line 107 from help.py is simply:
f=codecs.open(path, encoding=‘utf-8’, mode=‘r’)
from panda3d.pdef
182 # To add the multitude of standard Python string encodings.
183 module(‘encodings’, ‘encodings.*’)
Thats suppose to make encodings work. Apparently it does not make encodings.utf_8 work anyway.
I’m going to dig into this more soon, but I figured I’d start up a thread with what I have so far. I’ll probably put together a minimal example of the issue along with a bug report soon. For now I’m going to look for an easy workaround, since I’d like to get this release out. Suggestions for a fix or workaround would be appreciated.
