Category: Parser/Compiler
Group: Python 2.2.3
Status: Open
Resolution: None
Priority: 5
Submitted By: Michael Peternell (mpeti)
Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody)
Summary: UnicodeError

Initial Comment:
>>> c = "Österreich"
UnicodeError: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in
range(128)

the parser must not consider the German language an error.
the same for French:

>>> c = "Kate Ryan - Désenchantée"
UnicodeError: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in
range(128)

I think this behavior was INTENDED, or why did the
error message say "ordinal not in range(128)"? This is
not an error. It is intended that bytes have 8 bits and
not 7.

I hope you don't reject this bug.

Michael

Are you sure about this ?

>>> c = "Österreich"

Same for Python 2.3.

Perhaps you have change something in your site.py file ?!
