The .encode solution worked perfectly for me! I am using it for the page
you get when you fill out the year here:

(right now you have to switch to utf-8, I haven't set it to do that
automatically yet)
Thanks again!

For Python to be able to "print" unicode characters to the console, it must
know the encoding of the console. Generally, this entails setting up LC_ALL
and LANG and of course your terminal (emulator) appropriately, and testing
whether the interpreter sets the correct encoding on startup (which can be
found as sys.getdefaultencoding()). When the encoding that the interpreter
uses to "print" _unicode_-strings cannot encode the unicode characters you
hand it to the current default encoding, the codec barfs:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Nov 6 2007, 19:02:51)
[GCC 4.2.1 20070719 [FreeBSD]] on freebsd7
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.getdefaultencoding()
'ascii'
>>> print u"\xfa"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xfa' in position
0: ordinal not in range(128)
>>> print u"\xfa".encode("latin-1")
ú
>>>
Basically, the easiest resolution is to do the conversion yourself (like I did
in the second example). The other possibility is to change the deault
encoding to something that matches your default console (probably latin-1),
which you can do in /usr/local/lib/python2x/site.py.
HTH!

How do I get unicode support in python?
I'm running a web server with FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE and python 2.4.3. I'm unable to print any characters outside of ascii. I have tried this code on my Linux computer, which has python 2.5.x and it works - so the code is solid. What do I need to do to get python on the web server to have unicode support? Is there a module/package I need to import in the 2.4 series? Or is there some package/port I need to install? Or do I just recompile python with some different flags? (And does that entail any uninstalling first?)
