Really! That is surprising. Anyone else know how to set the file encoding for the PythonWin editor? > Since it didn't work in IPython as well I assume that I need to change the > encoding of the IPython shell to UTF-8, too. Still need to find out where. Was the problem with the print statements? Maybe changing the console encoding would help. I have some notes here: http://personalpages.tds.net/~kent37/stories/00018.html > The following code works on windows when saved to a UTF-8 encoded file: > > # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- > # the file needs to be set to UTF-8 encoding if working on windows > from easygui import easygui > raw = unicode("125° 15' 5.55''", 'utf-8') Again, I think this can be simplified to raw = u"125° 15' 5.55''" Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
