Hi,
I used extensively python and now I find this mess with strings,
I can't even reproduce tutorial examples:
>>> "apfel".encode('utf-8') (it was with umlaut)
File "<stdin>", line 0
^
SyntaxError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc4 in position 1:
ordinal not in range(128)
>>>
Is there any good guide to this mess of codecs and hell ?
python should have stayed at version 1.5, every single 'improvement'
has been a mess. But this is the definitive hell.
thanks!
