Displaying and Inputting Japanese

[Ari Greenberg]

Hi,

I'm using Python 2.2 for Windows XP and the IDLE GUI. I'm trying to
write a program to read and write Japanese characters. I am using the
Windows IME. Whenever I try to type Japanese, the Japanese appears
only as ? characters. I downloaded and installed the Japanese codecs,
but I have no idea how to use them. What needs to be done? Any advice
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Ari
