#s=re.sub(u"\u2013", "-", s)
s=s.encode("ascii", "ignore")

I am trying to read in non-ASCII data from file using Unicode, with
this test app:

Hi all,
I'd like to display symbols from the international phonetic alphabet
(IPA) in a Tkinter window, but I do not manage to have them displayed
correctly, neither in a Tkinter window nor in Idle.
For example, I'd like to print the following string and get the result below:
*string*
my_text =
Hi Tutors,

Unicode.
Thank you kent.
Best,

This seems to be a problem with IDLE rather than Python itself. This

Dear All,
I would like to convert my DOS txt file into pdf with reportlab.
The file can be seen correctly in Central European (DOS) encoding in

My winxp uses cp852 as default codepage.
When I open the txt file in notepad and set OEM/DOS script for terminal
fonts, it shows the file co

I'm using universal feed parser to grab an rss feed.
I'm carefull not to use any sys.out, print, file write ops, etc, UNLESS I
use a decode('utf-i') to convert the unicode string I get from feed parser

dear fellow Python enthusiasts,
I recently wrote a script that grabs a file containing a list of ISO defined
countries and creates an html select element. That's all well and good, and
everything seems to work fine, except for one little nagging problem:

For a test I tried to insert a string containing a unicode character as
follows:
ListObject = []
ListObject.insert(0,u"Möälasdji")
