and you've missed a bit :-) > So, in Sugar we are mixing python unicode strings, and utf-8 encoded No. We have been _temporarily_ mixing Python unicode UTF-8 with ASCII strings. We used to import gtk, which had the side effect of telling Python to assume any string constant in the code to be unicode UTF-8 instead of ASCII. As part of the gtk3 transition, we discovered importing gtk3 doesn't have that side effect. But we want Python to assume string constants to be UTF-8, so should tell it so explicitly instead of relying on side-effects :-) -- look at the emails from dnarvaez and manuq. Manuq - btw, I agree with upstream that this is not a GTK3/PyGI bug, it is an improvement. m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
