What I would like to know about PyEnchant is how to handle non-ascii 
input. Through trial & error I've noticed that let's say German Umlauts
are stored in the dictionary as using dead accents (is that the term?) 
(as in 'Mu"tter'), however French accented characters appear to be 
stored differently (as in '\xc3\xa9levage'. Anybody know what the 
"system" is?

Don't know about that. But than there also is a pyrex-driven aspell 
binding at http://sourceforge.net/projects/uncpythontools
