PyQt Unable to correctly print Unicode from `QProcess.readAllStandardOutput()`

Please_Help_me_D

Hi,

I don't fully understand how Unicode transformation is done and I've seen some topics (they helped me a bit) like this one
But still I'm going to clarify one thing:

I make a QProcess that should produce these symbols ℯαΔ.
Being more specific I make a call to julia programming language like this:

    self.qprocess.setProgram('julia.exe')
    self.qprocess.setArguments(['-E', '@info("ℯαΔ");'])
    self.qprocess.start()

  def onProcessReadyReadStandardOutput(self):
    print("QProcess output:\t", str(self.qprocess.readAllStandardOutput().data(), 'utf-8'))

The printed output is [ Info: ea?
The same output I get when running the same code from Windows powershell .\julia.exe -E '@info(\"ℯαΔ\")'

I believe the output that I get from python is affected by the fact that Windows command line doesn't support Unicode. Is that right?
Is there a way to avoid that and produce correct output from python?

@Please_Help_me_D said in PythonQt (PyQt) Unable to correctly print Unicode from `QProcess.readAllStandardOutput()`:

def onProcessReadyReadStandardOutput(self):
print("QProcess output:\t", str(self.qprocess.readAllStandardOutput().data(), 'utf-8'))

Try

def onProcessReadyReadStandardOutput(self):
    print("QProcess output:\t", str(QString(self.qprocess.readAllStandardOutput()), 'utf-8'))

@jsulm I'm sorry for the delay, haven't seen notification.

It seems that PyQt doesn't have QString class.
Is there a way to try it probably with QByteArray? Or something elese without QString

Not my area, but there seem to be plenty of questions to look through from Googling print Unicode from QProcess.readAllStandardOutput()? E.g. maybe https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41761132/pyqt-qprocess-readallstandardoutput-encoding helps?

@JonB thank you for reply,

I tried googling that and tried to apply their solutions, but there was no way I could display alpha, beta, phi etc correctly.

Me neither I don't understand all that encoding staff. I only have some basic "knowledge" on that

(Just modified the title, because PythonQt is another project and for future readers, I hope they don't get it wrong when talking about PyQt)
