Every time I think I understand unicode, I prove I don't. I created a variable in interactive mode like this: s = u'ä' where this character is the a-umlaut that worked alright. Then I encoded it like this: s.encode( 'latin1')
and it printed out a sigma (totally wrong) then I typed this: s.encode( 'utf-8') Then it gave me two weird characters +ñ So how do I tell what encoding my unicode string is in, and how do I retrieve that when I read it from a file? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
