New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com>: The MH class uses the locale encoding to read and write .mh_sequences files. According to R. David Murray, ASCII can be safetly used instead. Extract of our discussion on IRC:
bitdancer> haypo: that's one of the cases where using locale is probably correct, even though I'd rather it used utf-8. bitdancer> haypo: for nmh it is ASCII, for whatever that is worth. bitdancer> I base this on the fact that the pick command says that a utf-8 character is invalid. bitdancer> for a sequence name. bitdancer> Which is the only thing other than numbers that goes in a sequences files.
