In interactive mode, you best avoid non-ASCII characters in a Unicode
literal.
In theory, Python should look at sys.stdin.encoding when processing
the intera
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.encod
