Notice that this may fail on systems which don't provide the
CODESET information. Recent Linux systems (glibc 6) have it,
and so do recent Solaris systems, but if you happen to use
an HPUX9 or some such, you find that locale.CODE

If you post your revised solution to this unicode problem, I'd be
delighted to test it on Windows. I'm working on a Tkinter front-end
for Vivian deSmedt's rsync.py and would like to address the issue of

Considered that you decided to support old python versions, it's true.
Unicode support has gradually improved. If you c

Hello all,
I am trying to internationalize my Tkinter program using gettext and

lets me avoid further encoding trouble, but I would feel more
confident if s
