Hi.
I'm learning python. python 2.6.6 on ubuntu 10.10 I'm swedish so I
try to use
unicode to get swedish characters. I've checked wikipedia.
utf-8 is said to be an unicode encoding..
this is the test program:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import readline
s=raw_input(u'Månadslön:')
and this is the output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test_uni.py", line 5, in <module>
s=raw_input(u'Månadslön:')
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe5'
in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)
I'm doing something wrong...
Mikael
Your console is not unicode ready.
Please take a look at the locale command and vars like
LC_ALL, LC_LANG etc.
Aha... Ok,thank you
