[Tutor] Tkinter and non-ASCII-characters, again

[Scot W. Stevenson]

Hello Magnus,

Doesn't work for me - the problem is that I am feeding part of the string 
input into an "eval()" call, and that doesn't like the Unicode Tkinter is 
feeding back even if is part of a string. I made it work by putting a 

thisstring = thisstring.encode("ISO-8859-1")

around every input the user gives me, but this is _not_ the way things 
should be, I think...

Thank you for the help!
Y, Scot
