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"
The devanagari input text and the editsummary both are lost as question marks.
Version: core-(2.0)
Severity: normal
Platform: PC
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...
