System Environment: Windows 7 X64 SP1 CLI: cmd.exe As of now, the Core branch of the framework doesn't seem to support direct unicode input in the CLI. The command: python pwb.py C:/Users/username/core/scripts/add_text.py -page:%E0%A4%B8%E0%A4%A6%E0%A4%B8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AF:Siddhartha_Ghai/sandbox17 -text:"जाँच" -summary:"जाँच" gave this diff: https://hi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E0%A4%B8%E0%A4%A6%E0%A4%B8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AF%3ASiddhartha_Ghai%2Fsandbox17&diff=2214593&oldid=2214592 The devanagari input text and the editsummary both are lost as question marks.
Note: The add_text.py file used was downloaded from https://git.wikimedia.org/raw/pywikibot%2Fcompat.git/929557870a21e945ef7e8f8690960361e5fb62a1/add_text.py and then the import statements were modified.
Note to myself: support is there, but it's not implemented into handleArgs (and pwb.py might also need some adaptation) null.py is an empty file... ...n\pwb>python -i pwb.py null.py के अवतरणों में अंतर >>> import pywikibot >>> pywikibot.handleArgs() [u'null.py', u'??', u'???????', u'???', u'????'] >>> from pywikibot.userinterfaces.win32_unicode import argv >>> argv ['pwb.py', 'null.py', '\xe0\xa4\x95\xe0\xa5\x87', '\xe0\xa4\x85\xe0\xa4\xb5\xe0\xa4\xa4\xe0\xa4\xb0\xe0\xa4\xa3\xe0\xa5\x8b\xe0\xa4\x82', '\xe0\xa4\xae\xe0\xa5\x87\xe0\xa4\x82', '\xe0\xa4\x85\xe0\xa4\x82\xe0\xa4\xa4\xe0\xa4\xb0'] >>> [x.decode('utf-8') for x in argv] [u'pwb.py', u'null.py', u'\u0915\u0947', u'\u0905\u0935\u0924\u0930\u0923\u094b\u0902', u'\u092e\u0947\u0902', u'\u0905\u0902\u0924\u0930'] >>> pywikibot.output(u' '.join(x.decode('utf-8') for x in argv)) pwb.py null.py के अवतरणों में अंतर
