idle6.0 german umlauts (ascii > 128 Exception)

[Gerrit Muller]

Walter,

IDLE is working for me with many of the french letters, u-umlaut i did
not use yet.

The version I use at home is the last 2.0 release before the final
release came out, on windows 95.

Here at work I use 2.0 final on windows NT. This produces the same shit
you see. However by creating the file in Notepad (sic), I am able to get
things running...:

file test.py:
a="""à, è, ì, ò, ù 
À, È, Ì, Ò, Ù	CTRL+` (ACCENT GRAVE), the letter
á, é, í, ó, ú, ý
Á, É, Í, Ó, Ú, Ý	CTRL+' (APOSTROPHE), the letter
â, ê, î, ô, û
Â, Ê, Î, Ô, Û	CTRL+SHIFT+^ (CARET), the letter
ã, ñ, õ
Ã, Ñ, Õ	CTRL+SHIFT+~ (TILDE), the letter
ä, ë, ï, ö, ü, ÿ 
Ä, Ë, Ï, Ö, Ü, ?	CTRL+SHIFT+: (COLON), the letter
å, Å	CTRL+SHIFT+@, a or A
æ, Æ	CTRL+SHIFT+&, a or A
?, ?	CTRL+SHIFT+&, o or O
ç, Ç	CTRL+, (COMMA), c or C
ð, Ð	CTRL+' (APOSTROPHE), d or D
ø, Ø	CTRL+/, o or O
¿	ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+?
¡	ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+!
ß	CTRL+SHIFT+&, s
"""
ctrl-F5 and printing in the interactive window gives:
>>> 
print a
à, è, ì, ò, ù 
À, È, Ì, Ò, Ù	CTRL+` (ACCENT GRAVE), the letter
á, é, í, ó, ú, ý
Á, É, Í, Ó, Ú, Ý	CTRL+' (APOSTROPHE), the letter
â, ê, î, ô, û
Â, Ê, Î, Ô, Û	CTRL+SHIFT+^ (CARET), the letter
ã, ñ, õ
Ã, Ñ, Õ	CTRL+SHIFT+~ (TILDE), the letter
ä, ë, ï, ö, ü, ÿ 
Ä, Ë, Ï, Ö, Ü, ?	CTRL+SHIFT+: (COLON), the letter
å, Å	CTRL+SHIFT+@, a or A
æ, Æ	CTRL+SHIFT+&, a or A
?, ?	CTRL+SHIFT+&, o or O
ç, Ç	CTRL+, (COMMA), c or C
ð, Ð	CTRL+' (APOSTROPHE), d or D
ø, Ø	CTRL+/, o or O
¿	ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+?
¡	ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+!
ß	CTRL+SHIFT+&, s
