Hi all,
Another possibly silly question.....
My prodcution machines are stuck at python2.2 and tk 8.3
and *I* have a problem with the following code:-
import codecs
import Tkinter
root=Tkinter.Tk()
var = Tkinter.StringVar()
e = Tkinter.Entry(root, textvariable=var)
e.pack()
var.set(u"\xa3 \xa3")
#~ f = codecs.open("ce.tst", "w", "utf-8")
#~ f.write(var.get())
#~ f.close()
print repr(var.get())
root.mainloop()
The GUI shows up and is correct, however when I un-comment the three
save to file lines it fails with:
UnicodeError: ASCII decoding error: ordinal not in range(128)
Indeed when I look at the printed output from the code is shows:-
'\xc2\xa3 \xc2\xa3'
rather than what I put into that variable..... I assume this is a
feature of tk 8.3 - i've tested on py2.3+tk8.4 and py2.4+tk8.5 and
both those version *just work*
is there any get around?
Cheers
Martin
