The only two full UCA implementations I know of are ICU's and Perl's, which does not use ICU (since we're UTF-8, etc). I just wish Python had Unicode collation, is all. --tom PS: (I haven't had good luck the ICU bindings in 3.2.) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12735> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
