That works. Is ncursesw completely backwards compatible (not on an ABI level, but API wise)? Or will it break Latin-1 locales? What is needed to get the Python bindings (in Debian) to handle UTF-8 and Latin-1? Is it enough to: - add that setlocale statement in the bindings - build against ncursesw instead of ncurses Or is anything else needed? Edmund, since you know both UTF-8, curses and Python, maybe you could take a look at the Python curses bindings. They don't seem to be maintained actively. jack (an audio rupper) and cplay (an audio player) are both curses based Python programs that fail with UTF-8. While I was able to fix most of their UTF-8 problems (like OGG Vorbis and MP3 tagging), the curses output problems remains. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
