Loading non-utf8 or non 7 bit ascii into a textbuffer gives thisWith GTK 2.0, you are responsible for passing valid UTF-8 data to gtk functions, just as with 1.2 you were responsible for passing data in the user's locale's encoding. PyGTK makes things easier by allowing you to pass unicode strings, and have them handled appropriately.
error, and no text is displayed in the textview.
How can I check if this has happened (the buffer still reports
the correct length) and what should I do if it does happen? Ask the user for a fallback encoding? text = unicode( text, "latin1" )?
By calling locale.getlocale(), you get a (language_code, encoding) tuple that you can use to work out what encoding user data is probably in. You can then use this to convert to UTF-8 (or a unicode string).
