I'm wondering what I misunderstood in PEP263. In the following example, shouldn't it work correctly, showing 'áéíóú', as far as my terminal accepts ISO-8859-1?
#!/usr/bin/python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- s1 = "\xc3\xa1\xc3\xa9\xc3\xad\xc3\xb3\xc3\xba" s2 = u"\xc3\xa1\xc3\xa9\xc3\xad\xc3\xb3\xc3\xba" print s1.encode('iso-8859-1') print s2.encode('iso-8859-1')
Argh.. ok, understood. I need some sleep. These strings are not unicode, but escapings of unicode strings. -- Gustavo Niemeyer http://niemeyer.net
