OK, here is a simple example that will show you what i want to do. Right now if you type print 'hello' in the entry and press you will see braces in the label "{}". But if you type sys.stdou.write ("hello") you will see "{hello}" in the label. So i got the stdout piping to the widget now, but it w

Re: unable to print Unicode characters in Python 3

Now that I know the problem, I found the following on Google. Windows uses codepages to display different character sets. (http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page) The Windows chcp command allows you to change the character set from the original 437 set. When you type on the command line: chcp

Re: Anoying unicode / str conversion problem

Thanks Peter, your answer did the trick. I programed a lot with awk (also a very cool scripting language). So I was focused on the concept a dictionary key has to be string (as in awk). Since it's impossible to use a list as a dictionary key I thought it's also impossible to use a tuple as a key.

I was hoping to find something that allows me to print any Unicode character on the console. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-li

scatterhist and resizing figures

i am using scatterhist to plot some data. i find that when i plot the data and matlab shows it in the figure window, stretching the figure window (with the mouse) to enlarge it actually changes the properties of the figure. for example, making it bigger sometimes reveals more tick marks - like the
