German Windows 2000, SP 4
Python 2.3.4 (#53, May 25 2004, 21:17:02) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)]
IPython 0.6.10 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.

Is it already known, that after switching
the keyboard input scheme on German
Windows 2000 to english USA International
IPython generates \x00" instead of "
when trying to input quotation marks?

Idle works still OK under same conditions,

so I suppose, that this is because IPyhon
catches the keyboard input before
the appropriate driver processes
the raw keypresses - e.g. the key
combination AltGr-s (i.e. Ctrl-Alt-s)
which should generate a German
ß i.e. ß  doesn't work in
IPython at all.
