A very very basic UTF-8 question that's driving me nuts:
If I have this in the beginning of my Python script in Linux:
#!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
should I - or should I not - be able to use non-ASCII characters in strings and in Tk GUI button labels and GUI window titles and in raw_input data without Python returning wrong case in manipulated strings and/or gibberished characters in Tk GUI title?
...
I'd recommend reading "The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets (No Excuses!)", by Joel Spolsky:
- http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html
It's not based on Python (nor any other language either...), but I find it *very* useful.
