Message 161738 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

When running IDLE from the terminal on Ubuntu, I get the following error:

Exception in Tkinter callback Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/serwy/python/cpython/Lib/tkinter/init.py", line 1442, in call return self.func(*args) File "./idlelib/GrepDialog.py", line 70, in default_command self.grep_it(prog, path) File "./idlelib/GrepDialog.py", line 90, in grep_it block = f.readlines(100000) File "/home/serwy/python/cpython/Lib/codecs.py", line 300, in decode (result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe4 in position 120: invalid continuation byte

The reason why IDLE closes suddenly on Windows is described in .
