Filename encoding on XP
What encoding does the NTFS store the filename? I got some downloaded files, some with Chinese filename, I can not backup them to CD because the name is not accepted. I use walk, then print the filename, there are some ? in it, but some Chinese characters were display with no problem. I suspect the encoding of the filename is not unicode. How do I find out more about this? -- Sin Hang Kin. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Smooth upgrade to New Version
Python is now enter 2.4 era. It is greate, and I want to upgrade too. However, everytime upgrading to a new version is a great pain. For every version, we start to re-install what have been in our past python. Re-install all packages sometimes require searching for a new version of binary which in windows were not easy, the same also true for osx. Are there any plan for smoother version upgrade for upcoming 2.5 or later? May be with the freely available ms compiler, this problem can be solved? -- Sin Hang Kin. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Write Unicode str as utf-8
Python support unicode, but some library don't. Write is one of them. When writing a csv file, The rows contains numbers and unicode str. It is a little pain to first convert all unicode str to utf-8 before writing the row. Are there anyway I can patch python such that It will convert the unicode string to utf-8 before the write? Where should I start? Best rgs, Kent Sin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
