yes, I really need it! Today I spent half day debugin unicode + utf8 in a PyQT tutorial I'm trying to make, so I can teach some friends how to develop rapid GUIs using Linux. Man, it's quite hard to understand the logic. But you need the codecs, unicode( string, "utf8" ), unicode( string, "latin-1" ), and stuff. But you need to know how the data was encoded so you can transform it to unicode. Example: Save a file "file_iso8859-1" with iso8859-1 chars. Then run the following code: f = open( "file_iso8859-1", "r" ).read() print f print unicode( f, "iso8859-1" ) If you use an unicode terminal you'll see the first line with weird chars, and the second line as expected (the chars converted to unicode).
