Summary: Non-latin1 encodings under Windows.

Initial Comment:
The attached problem description was submitted to the 
python list by Roman Suzi. The problem involves 
internationalization issues and non-latin1 characters 
under Windows. The problem is described in great 
detail and solutions are provided. This should 
probably be a high priority item for the IDLE 
revitalization effort.

How old is that email? The FixTk.py problem has been fixed
in Python 2.2.

I hope that someone will fix the Unicode handling in
_tkinter.c and submit a patch to the Python patch manager.
Otherwise this will never get fixed. (The regular maintainer
of _tkinter.c has no access to systems where foreign
encodings are used for testing.)

I don't understand why the default encoding must be changed.
If the user enters non-ASCII characters Tcl will
automatically produce Unicode.  If the issue is that there
are source code files encoded in national encoding, please
wait for PEP 263 -- IDLE should be patched to support the
same convention.
