Thank you for the responses.
Some filenames I use are in Unicode in this script and there is no display
or typing problem in Windows (Vista, 7 and 10). Filenames and text in word
processing and text files are ALL displayed properly WITHOUT any errors by
the Windows system.
When I use a standard font in the local language there is no problem at all
but I need to retype ALL display text in all the Python programs which is a
tedious task.
Having read all answers is there no way this can be done without modifing
code on my computer? Thepurpose is to deliver a WIndows software for ALL
Windows users.
I am reading in a list of file names with the following code.
def get_filelist(self):
""""""
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
a = QtGui.QFileDialog.getOpenFileNames()
filelist = []
if a:
for name in a:
a = unicode(name)
filelist.append(a)
return filelist
mainprg.filelist = mainprg.get_filelist()
filelist = mainprg.filelist
for name in filelist:
print name < ---- THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM IS
Thanks for feed back.
