I'm having issues when using python 2.6.1 in interactive mode : it wouldn't let me type anything but plain ascii... while the terminal itself will properly display french accented characters as entered on the fly;
so I looked into site.py, found that silly instruction was still there on line 456, changed it, to utf-8, but still no go...
hunting for a solution on the web, I learned about PYTHONIOENCODING and set it to utf-8 in my environment: still no accented french chars...
then I checked the 'escape non ascii' option in the terminal settings: now I can type words like Noël or Pâques, but there are still some oddities, like the ¦ ligature for instance, that display as ?^?^?
has anybody solved that issue?
