Generate locales? Change you session/shell/etc.'s LC_ALL / locale?

no

python doesn't care about locales

I can run it from a utf-8 locale but it won't print utf-8 unless I tell it to in the right way

import unicode something or other ain't it?
2008-12-01 33601, 2008
nikki
no idea

nikki wonders how to run perl scripts from python...

would probably be faster ¬_¬

nikki: atleast that will be more-or-less fixed in python 3.0

I still don't see how it is broken

MYTH.

it's not obvious to me why it's not working

I told it the encoding of the file and told it to encode it when I print, but it still doesn't work

luks: it's annoying to have to be so explicit about string/unicode conversion. having everything as unicode by default will make using python a lot easier IMHO.

can you pastebin the codee and the error?
2008-12-01 33651, 2008

warp: but unicode is not easy, for example there are 3 different run-time encodings used for different things on windows

warp: Everything as code points, or as glyphs? ¬_¬

luks: i know it's not. you can save a file on osx and it won't exist afterwards because osx decided to normalize the unicode to non-combined characters or whatever.
