How to output Cyrillic in Python?

Question

Python

I am solving problems from the HelloWorld book in Python and there is the following code:

import easygui
flavor = easygui.enterbox('Ваше любимое мороженное?',
                          default = 'Ванильное')
easygui.msgbox('Вы указали ' + flavor)

When you start the interpreter, instead of Cyrillic, crack images


How can this problem be solved without crutches?

Answer 1

I don't know what easygui is, but it's probably just to use Python 3 and make sure the script is UTF-8 encoded.

Answer 2

There are no problems with Cyrillic in python3, try saving the file in utf8.

Answer 3

Try adding a line at the beginning of the file with the executable code
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
. This will change the file encoding to utf-8. Most likely your characters are translated automatically into ascii or cp1251.
