Hi all, I am using Python 2.6.2 (release26-maint, Apr 19 2009, 01:56:41). I ran into this issue yesterday and wanted to check to see if this is a python bug. It seems that there is an inconsistency between lists and dictionaries in the way that unicode objects are handled. Take a look at the following example:
>>> test_dict = {u'öğe':1} >>> u'öğe' in test_dict.keys() True >>> 'öğe' in test_dict.keys() True >>> test_dict[u'öğe'] 1 >>> test_dict['öğe'] Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> KeyError: '\xc3\xb6\xc4\x9fe' >>> Is this a bug? has_key functionality of the dictionary works as expected: >>> test_dict.has_key(u'öğe') True >>> test_dict.has_key('öğe') False -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
