I have directory names that contain Russian characters, Romanian characters, French characters, et al. When I search for a file using glob.glob(), I end up with stuff like \x93\x8c\xd1 in place of the directory names. I thought simply identifying them as Unicode would clear that up. Nope. Now I have stuff like \u0456\u0439\u043e.
These representations of directory names are eventually going to be passed to Dolphin (my file manager). Will they pass to Dolphin properly? Do I need to run a conversion? Can that happen automatically within the script considering that the various types of characters are all mixed together in the same directory (i.e. # coding: Latin-1 at the top of the script is not going to address all the different types of characters). While on the subject, I just read through the Unicode info for Python 2.7.3. The history was interesting, but the implementation portion was beyond me. I was looking for a way for a Russian 'backward R' to look like a Russian 'backward R' - not for a bunch of \xxx and \uxxxxx stuff. Can someone point me to a page that will clarify the concepts, not just try to show me the Python implementation of what I already don't understand? ;) Thanks Ray _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
