Hi, using Python3.1, if I say import site
I get File "/usr/lib64/python3.1/site.py", line 472, in setencoding sys.setdefaultencoding(encoding) # Needs Python Unicode build ! ValueError: Can only set default encoding to utf-8 But emerge -vp dev-lang/python-3.1.3 shows USE="doc gdbm ipv6 ncurses readline sqlite ssl threads tk (wide- unicode) xml -build -examples -wininst" Why is 'wide-unicode' in parentheses? eix dev-lang/python shows the wide-unicode use flag. What's going on here? Many thanks for a hint, Helmut.
