So, if I understand it correctly, it should work as long as you run your Python code on something that can actually print the Unicode character. Apparently, the Windows command line can not. I mainly program command line tools to be used by Windows users. So I guess I am screwed. Other than converting my tools to have a graphic interface, is there any other solution, other than give Bill Gates a call and bring his command line up to the 21st century ? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
