  • Python Script (External)

    I'm launching an external python script, not MPY script.

    When I'm trying to display ansi block characters I get the following.
    " ".

    I am opening the ansi file with cp437 encoding, and everything displays correctly from a bash terminal, but within syncterm I'm getting that?

    Any ideas how to fix this?

    Python 2 or 3? I'm not nearly a Mystic expert, but I could never get Python
    3 to work with it.

    Its a python script completely independant of mystic.

    Sounds like python is displaying it with utf8 encoding, change the encoding to output cp437 and you'll be golden.

    Thanks, I managed to get this working after some googling and suggestions.

    Got some other hurdles to fix, such as escape key multiple times shows the directory contents??
