A number of people in the Ubuntu community have attempted to work with
Python3.0 under Ubuntu 8.10 and almost all have found it to be a
frustrating and painful experience with some having disastrous
consequences. I was looking for the latest discussion thread on this
issue in the Ubuntu forums, but the forums are currently down. <br>
<br>
You might want to use Google to track this under Python 3.0 + Ubuntu
8.10.<br>
<br>
The overall consensus of opinion is to wait until Python 3.0 became the
default under Ubuntu before using it. <br>
YMMV.<br>

Any idea how this can be solved on Ubuntu 8.10. I don't have this
problem with the default Python installation (2.5.2)<br>
Thank you<br>

</blockquote></div><br>Thanks Robert for the advice about Ubuntu. I did a lot of Googling before I posted my question, but could not find an answer. I do basic things with Python that involve using lots of Arabic text, and this is why python3.0 was supposed to make my life easier, but I'm learning GUI building now, and it has given me the first frustration.<br clear="all">
