elaborate your use case?
tcl/tk and Javascript only support UCS-2 (16 bit) Unicode strings.
Since IDLE is a tkinter application, it would be helpful if there
were an isbmp function that exposed the existing flag in the string
object.
Sorry, no. The existing internal flag is an implementation detail that
should not show in the API.
It occurred to me that this might be an issue. Rather than define a
LBYL scanner in Python, I think I will try wrapping inserts of
user-supplied strings into widgets with with try: insert; except: <do
whatever else>.
