[gentoo-user] python3 question

[n952162]

Hello.  In python3, how do you do this?

tgt = 'gebuchte Umsätze;'

In python2, you could do this:

tgt = unicode ('gebuchte Umsätze;'.decode ('latin1'))

but that gives:

SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe4 in
position 12: invalid continuation byte

In fact, any constant with ä in it will give you that.
