can't get utf8 / unicode strings from embedded python

[David M. Cotter]

note everything works great if i use Ascii, but:

in my utf8-encoded script i have this:

>       print "frøânçïé"

in my embedded C++ i have this:

PyObject*       CPython_Script::print(PyObject *args)
{
        PyObject                *resultObjP     = NULL;
        const char              *utf8_strZ      = NULL;
        
        if (PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "s", &utf8_strZ)) {
                Log(utf8_strZ, false);

                resultObjP = Py_None;
                Py_INCREF(resultObjP);
        }
        
        return resultObjP;
}

Now, i know that my Log() can print utf8 (has for years, very well debugged)

but what it *actually* prints is this:

>       print "frøânçïé"
--> frøânçïé

another method i use looks like this:
>       kj_commands.menu("控件", "同步滑帧", "全局无滑帧")
or
>       kj_commands.menu(u"控件", u"同步滑帧", u"全局无滑帧")

and in my C++ i have:

SuperString             ScPyObject::GetAs_String()
{
        SuperString             str;
        
        if (PyUnicode_Check(i_objP)) {
                #if 1
                //      method 1
                {
                        ScPyObject              
utf8Str(PyUnicode_AsUTF8String(i_objP));
                        
                        str = utf8Str.GetAs_String();
                }
                #elif 0
                //      method 2
                {
                        UTF8Char                *uniZ = (UTF8Char 
*)PyUnicode_AS_UNICODE(i_objP);
                
                        str.assign(&uniZ[0], 
&uniZ[PyUnicode_GET_DATA_SIZE(i_objP)], kCFStringEncodingUTF16);
                }
                #else
                //      method 3
                {
                        UTF32Vec                        charVec(32768); 
CF_ASSERT(sizeof(UTF32Vec::value_type) == sizeof(wchar_t));
                        PyUnicodeObject         *uniObjP = (PyUnicodeObject 
*)(i_objP);
                        Py_ssize_t                      
sizeL(PyUnicode_AsWideChar(uniObjP, (wchar_t *)&charVec[0], charVec.size()));
                        
                        charVec.resize(sizeL);
                        charVec.push_back(0);
                        str.Set(SuperString(&charVec[0]));
                }
                #endif
        } else {
                str.Set(uc(PyString_AsString(i_objP)));
        }
        
        Log(str.utf8Z());
        
        return str;
}


for the string, "控件", i get:
--> 控件

for the *unicode* string, u"控件", Methods 1, 2, and 3, i get the same thing:
--> 控件

okay so what am i doing wrong???
