[Tutor] UTF-8 title() string method

[Jon Crump]

Terry, thanks.

Sadly, I'm still missing something.

I've tried all the aliases in locale.py, most return
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting

one that doesn't is:

>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, ('fr_fr'))
'fr_fr'

but if I set it thus it returns:

Angoul?äMe, Angoumois.

I'm running python 2.5 on a Mac iBook G4 osX 10.4.10, and this encoding 
stuff is terra incognita for me
