entry widget and rotor module

[richard_chamberlain]

Hi Keith,

If you ignore the fact your using the rotor module and just print your
string you get the following:

>>> print '.\314q\217'
.Ìq

If you do this:

>>> print r'.\314q\217'
.\314q\217

So it's nothing to do with rotor but just escape characters in the string
i.e. \ being converted.

Richard
