Hi everybody, how could I concatenate unicode strings ???
What I want to do is this:

unicode('this an example language ') + unicode('español')

but I get an:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 11:
ordinal not in range(128)

How could I concatenate unicode strings ???

That error is from the 2nd call to unicode(), not from the
concatenation itself. Use proper Unicode string literals:

u'this an example language ' + u'español'

You'll probably also need to add the appropriate source file encoding
declaration; see http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/

Cheers,
Chris

an example of shebang

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-


that should allow you to write u'español' in your code.
