Re: [Ilugc] [ilugc] How to print unicode charecter in terminal
One way to debug this is to try to redirect the output to a .txt or .html file and check the output in gedit or firefox browser that understands the encoding. Ok I will check this. #1 Please put a header, copyright, license info if you are releasing code to the public. #2 You might want to give a detailed example on how to use your program in the README with examples. I am not sure if you expect English/Tamil text as input at various prompts. #3 Add your contact e-mail address in the README #4 Your exception cases need to be clearly specific. If you test for Internet connectivity, then clearly say so. #5 You have imported re, codecs, textwrap and not used it in the code #6 It is good practice to check function return values before proceeding to use them in your code #7 Please add docstring when you write Python code #8 Avoid magic numbers and strings, please. Move all your prompt strings to separate variables, so tomorrow if you have to change them you only have to do it once #9 Fix your indentation #10 Run pylint on your code and fix the warnings Thank you for your suggestion. ok i will change all these corrections and will update the code. -- Regards sathia http://www.sathia27.wordpress.com ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Problem is that it does not print tamil font clearly. I cannot read that font. Eventhough I installed tamil font in my system. What is way to print unicode character in terminal ? What terminal emulator are you using ? I have tried tamil characters on both xterm (248) and gnome-terminal (2.28.1). Even if you set the terminal emulator to UTF-8 mode, xterm just doesn't know tamil while gnome-terminal doesn't use fixed width to display tamil characters which is what seems like happening in your case. Try the following in the command line, echo -e #\0340\0256\0205# If you notice that the tamil character is not between the '#' characters but instead overlaps with one, thats the problem ur facing then. I don't know of a solution to this, other than considering tamil characters to take twice the width and leave a space between some tamil characters you print. -- 0 ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Yes character was get overlapping as you said.
