Hi all,

I'm writing a little MPL embedded in wxPython app, and just ran into this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
...
...
"..../matplotlib-0.91.2-py2.5-macosx-10.3-fat.egg/matplotlib/backends/backend_agg.py",
 

line 397, in print_png
     self.get_renderer()._renderer.write_png(filename, 
self.figure.dpi.get())
TypeError: cannot return std::string from Unicode object

As soon as I saw it, I knew what happened: I'm running the unicode 
version of wxPython, so the filename I got back from a SaveFile Dialog 
is in unicode. Now, it's easy enough for me to turn that into a string 
for now, but as more and more file systems are implemented in unicode, 
it might be nice if we could use unicode file names with MPL.

Are there any plans along these lines? Or are we just going to have to 
wait for py3k?

-CHB
