[python-win32] Re: UNICODE strings

[Jens B. Jorgensen]

Thanks Reuven, that's just what we needed. The bad news is that it looks 
like the error is occurring within the wxWindows code as it is trying to 
convert that string in some way. You'll need to go talk to the wxWindows 
folks about this one.
