Hello,
I am still having problems with Python/Tkinter/Unicode.
A simpel example.
This works, no problems at all:
----
from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
class Demo:
def __init__(self, root):
self.f = Frame(root)
self.f.pack()
self.l = Listbox(self.f)
self.l.pack()
self.but = Button(self.f, text='Get them', command=self.hol)
self.but.pack()
self.label = Label(self.f, text = 'Hi')
self.label.pack(pady=10)
def hol(self):
out = ''
for x in self.l.get(0, 'end'):
out = out + '%s ' % x
prog.label.configure(text = out)
if __name__ == '__main__':
txt = 'Mühsam ernährt sich das Eichhörnchen'
txt_list = txt.split()
prog = Demo(root)
for x in txt_list:
prog.l.insert(END, x)
root.mainloop()
--------
But... when I change my input to
txt = u'Mühsam ernährt sich das Eichhörnchen'
or to
txt = 'Mühsam ernährt sich das Eichhörnchen'
txt = unicode(txt, 'Latin-1')
the words show up in te Listbox, but I cannot retrieve them from the
Listbox:
Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):

return apply(self.func, args)

for x in self.l.get(0,3):
File "c:\python21\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 2293, in get
return self.tk.splitlist(self.tk.call(
UnicodeError: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range(128)
What am I doing wrong??
