How can I print the unicode box drawing characters in python: print u'\u2500' print u'\u2501' print u'\u2502' print u'\u2503' print u'\u2504' Traceback (most recent call last): File "\test.py", line 3, in ? print u'\u2500' File "C:\Python24\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 18, in encode

> on windows using python 2.4. ??? yes, as a matter of fact I am. Did not feel the need to switch to 2.5 yet. I'm gonna give this a try, but it requires me to dig up 2.5 versions of the libraries i am using. (one of them didn't at the time and that is why I stuck to 2.4) -- http://mail.python.org

unable to print Unicode characters in Python 3

Hi, while checking out Python 3, I read that all text strings are now natively Unicode. In the Python language reference (http://docs.python.org/3.0/reference/ lexical_analysis.html) I read that I can show Unicode character in several ways. "\u" supposedly allows me to specify the Unicode chara

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: unable to print Unicode characters in Python 3

chcp 1252 does allow me to print the EURO sign. Thanks for pointing that out. However, it does not show me some ALL Unicode characters. Very frustrating. 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

import wx works interactive but not from script

when I call "import wx" from the interactive console, it works (i.e. it doesn't complain). But when I call the same from a script, it complains that it can not find the wx module. works for interactive Python 2.6.1 (r261:67517, Dec 4 2008, 16:51:00) [MSC v.

Re: import wx works interactive but not from script

I ran the script from a command line, so it is not a file association thing. I do have multiple versions of Python installed on that machine. I will uninstall them all and install a single version from clean. Thanks for the suggestion -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: import wx works interactive but not from script

ok, sorry for the long wait. I tried this on both my work (XP) and home PC (Vista64) and they are both consistent. I had both Python2.6 and Python 3.0 installed. wxPython didn't like that. As soon as I uninstalled Python3.0, my wxPython started running again. Must be some kind of registry thing.

executables no longer executing on PC's without Python installed

Hi, I recently figured out a problem that came up with the latest versions of Python and cx_Freeze. I thought I post it here so that it might be usefull to someone. The problem was that, when I switched to Python 2.6.x and cx_Freeze-4.0.1.win32-py2.6.msi, the executables that were produced ran per

cross compile Python to Linux-ARM

Hi, We are looking to use Python on an embedded Linux ARM system. What I gather from googling the subject is that it is not that straight forward (a fair amount of patching & hacking). Nobody out there that has done it claims it is easy, which makes me worried. I haven't seen a description on port
