Original Redmine Issue: 9573
Affected QGIS version: master
Redmine category:pyqgis_console

Can't open Python consoler right after a clean install. This could be caused by my username in Windows which contains Czech characters but I tried it under the guest account and had the same error.

Hi Raphael,

can you try to change the file console_output.py to the line 139
by replacing with the following: @unicode(socket.gethostname())@
in order to understand if it is a trivial fix?

You have to use the hostname with non-ascii chars though.

qgib · 2014-02-27T02:20:38Z

Author Name: Raphael Luthi (Raphael Luthi)

The line 139 is "self.selectAllShortcut.activated.connect(self.selectAll)"

Should I replace the whole line by unicode "socket.gethostname())"?

Are you running QGIS 64 and do you have a 32 bit version of Python in C:\\Python27.

Looks like it's picking up a wrong library.

No--(I WAS running QGIS 64--but now running 32).

The results all varied very slightly, depending on what things I did to try to fix the problem. Here is a copy of the messages from today (5/11/2014):

This problem has been going for a few years (!!). Suggestions from 3-4 years ago are a bundle of guesses. I hope the QGIS folks can figure it out. (Python itself is plagued with problems--within its own distribution. The only way to open 'IDLE' is to sign on as 'administrator'--and things that depend on Python don't always put up-to-date .bat calls into their installations (eg-Orange)

You may well be right about conflicts. The default Python indication changes from application to application. I have a stand-alone Python 2.7.6 that I use for programming (note that QGIS thinks that the default is 2.7.4). You can see pathways for 'Orange' in the list. It seems to be looking at my general Python paths, and the self-contained Python paths. I'm not quite sure how to approach this.

qgib · 2014-05-22T15:16:49Z

Author Name: Nathan Woodrow (@NathanW2)

I'm not sure why your version is picking up the extra stuff. The batch file that QGIS runs sets up it's own environment that it needs, including creating a new PATH variable, at least it should be. I have four version of QGIS installed and two standalone Pythons but they never conflict.

Open up a new cmd.exe instance and run this:

@set@

It will print all the variables that are defined for your system.

Do you see PYTHONPATH defined? If so it should not be.

qgib · 2014-06-03T14:46:17Z

Author Name: Tim Paysen (Tim Paysen)

Yes and PYTHONPATH is in there. I've seen conflicting opinions on whether or not it should be. Some applications look for it. Painfully, I'm including it here.
