One thing to be aware of is that PyGTK+ actually sets the Python Unicode object encoding to UTF-8. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132040 I mention this because PyGTK is a very popular library related to Python and Linux. So currently if you "import gtk", then libraries which are using UTF-8 (as you say, the vast majority) will work with Python unicode objects unmodified. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
