Of cource, I know, using Python3 is the best way. But, there are libraries only supporting Python2 (i.e python-xlib). Using Python2's dual-text system is not so difficult for me. Because I'm Japanese, I had to handle Japanese with many charsets in every programs I made. And I have one simple rule.
"Use unicode type all time. Input must be converted to unicode soon. Output must be converted to str late." And, fixing this bug can open a can of worms ? I think, we should open it. IDLE needs cleanup such as removing too old codes. 2013/4/22 Terry Jan Reedy <[email protected]> > On 4/21/2013 4:20 PM, Andrew Svetlov wrote: > >> I think fixing this bug for python 2 can open a can of worms.
