Hi.
I'm learning python. python 2.6.6 on ubuntu 10.10 I'm swedish so I
try to use
unicode to get swedish characters. I've checked wikipedia.
utf-8 is said to be an unicode encoding..
this is the test program:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import readline
s=raw_input(u'Månadslön:')
and this is the output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test_uni.py", line 5, in <module>
s=raw_input(u'Månadslön:')
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe5'
in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)
I'm doing something wrong...
Mikael
Your console is not unicode ready.
Please take a look at the locale command and vars like
LC_ALL, LC_LANG etc.
Aha... Ok,thank you
----------------
But I checked this out.. Gnome terminal is set to 'unicode utf-8 encoding'
and locale command returns
LANG=sv_SE.utf8
LC_CTYPE="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_TIME="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_PAPER="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_NAME="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_ALL=
if I remove the u before strings its works.. it must be a 8-bit subset
of utf-8?
