Hi, do I miss something (I do hope so) or is switching to Python3 really hard for Latin1-users?
My simplest hello world script - which uses a few German umlaut characters - doesn't look very intuitive. I have to set an internal property (with leading underscore) for each output file I'm using - right? #!/usr/local/bin/python3.0 # _*_ coding: latin1 _*_ import sys # the following call doesn't do the job # sys.setfilesystemencoding('latin1') # but this ugly one (to be done for each output file) sys.stdout._encoding='latin1' print("Hallo, Süßes Python") Thanks for any enlightening on that subject, Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
