Bazaar Explorer

unknown terminal encoding: cp720 (OEM Arabic)

Asked by Muhammad Bashir Al-Noimi

I'm using Windows XP SP3 Arabic enabled.

Everytime I run Bazaar Explorer I got the following warning in console window:

bzr: warning: unknown terminal encoding cp720.
  Using encoding cp1256 instead.

How I can fix this issue?

You need to download cp720.py file from Python sources: http://svn.python.org/view/*checkout*/python/trunk/Lib/encodings/cp720.py?revision=74000&pathrev=74000 and then place this file to encodings package of your Python installation. E.g.
C:\Python25\Lib\encodings

If you're using standalone bzr.exe then put this file into C:\Program Files\Bazaar\lib\library.zip archive in folder "encodings".
The path to library.zip depends on where you have installed Bazaar.

Thanks.

This is unbelievable Bazzar must include this file in its distro. So is there any ability to add this file in the coming Bazaar distros?

Sorry, but Bazaar uses everything what present in standard Python
installation. Unfortunately cp720.py is not present in any of released
Python version yet. It's not Bazaar fault.

BTW, I've tried to add this file to Python 3 years ago. See my patch and
its history in Python bugtracker:
