Hi If I use len() on a string containing unicode letters I get the number of bytes the string uses. This means that len() can report size 6 when the unicode string only contains 3 characters (that one would write by hand or see on the screen). Is there a way to calculate in characters and not in bytes to represent the characters.
The reason for asking is that PyGTK needs number of characters to set the width of Entry widgets to a certain length, and it expects viewable characters and not number of bytes to represent them. Thanks in advance Preben -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
