If my windows set "endoding" to utf-8 here, it will work for my puropose. But windows only can set encoding to default setting of my Local, for me it is cp932, Japanese. So if I input Hnagul here, "Unsupported Characters in input" error will arise. So I am expecting that Idle will have a settings in its configration to encoding to UTF-8 , inspite of locale.getdefaultlocale()[1]. Ofcourse it is not good for winodws95/98 users, but very useful for Windows XP users. > it should be work reagrds. kazuo > kazuo fujimoto wrote: > > Ricky, > > > > I found your message now, because I also would encounter the same > > problem. > > > > > > > A few unicode tutorials on the web show that it's possible to type > > > unicode characters into the IDLE gui... > > > > > > However, when i type korean (hangul) characters it complains: > > > > > > Unsupported Characters in input > > > > > > I don't have a great understanding of unicode, but when I use a UTF-8 > > > source file with korean strings in, and run it as a CGI script it > > > works fine. > > > > > > I'm using python 2.3.3 on win XP. > > > > > > Any tutorials / info anyone could point me to?
