Hi,

This is my first post to that mailing list if I remember correctly, so
hello everyone !

I've been stuck on a simple problem for the past few hours. I'd just
like raw_input to work with accentuated characters.

For example:

firstname = str.capitalize(raw_input('First name: '))

where firstname could be "Valérie", "Gisèle", "Honoré", etc...

I tried -*- coding: utf-8 -*-, u'', unicode(), but to no avail...

I'm using str.capitalize and str.lower throughout my code, so I guess
some encoding / decoding will also be necessary at some point.

Thanks a lot for your help !

Cheers, Samuel
