Source Encoding GBK/GB2312

[steven]

When I specify an source encoding such as:

# -*- coding: GBK -*-
or
# -*- coding: GB2312 -*-

as the first line of source, I got the following error:

SyntaxError: 'unknown encoding: GBK'


Does this mean Python does not support GBK/GB2312? What do I do?

Well, *your* Python might not support GTK:

sholden@dellboy ~
$ cat test90.py
# -*- coding: GBK -*-

print "Hello!"


sholden@dellboy ~
$ python test90.py
Hello!

but Python generally appears to. Do you have encodings/gbk.py in your
library?

2.4 support gb2312, gbk, gb18030 and cjk codec.
you can also move these things to 2.3.

GB2312 is supported in Python 2.4.
GB2312 support can be added to Python 2.3 with the CJKCodecs package:
