Hi, I used extensively python and now I find this mess with strings, I can't even reproduce tutorial examples: >>> "apfel".encode('utf-8') (it was with umlaut) File "<stdin>", line 0 ^ SyntaxError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc4 in position 1: ordinal not in range(128) >>> Is there any good guide to this mess of codecs and hell ?
python should have stayed at version 1.5, every single 'improvement' has been a mess. But this is the definitive hell. thanks! -- SDF-EU Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf-eu.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
