Sticking with vim is a fine choice.
In general I would agree with this line. In this case... Yes the OP said he was using vim And he could not handle a unicode encoding issue I gave an emacs solution to the issue not because I find editor-wars engaging but because I dont know how to do *this* with vi. I'd be surprised if vi actually cant do these: 1. Look under the unicode-hood to peek at what a char is -- C-u C-x = in emacs 2. Change file encoding -- C-x RET f in emacs Please do suggest vi-ways of handling this -- that would be useful! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
