Hi. I'm Japanese and non-ascii charactor user. (cp932)
We have to use "IME" to input non-ascii charactor in Windows. When "> chcp 65001" in cmd.exe, we cannot use IME on cmd.exe.
So setting codepage to 65001 make output universal but make input ascii-only. Sit!!!
Is there a code page that still allows IME input, but supports all of Unicode? I know there is GB18030 - is it any good? In any case, for *that* problem, I think you need to look for a different terminal program.
I hope PyQtShell http://code.google.com/p/pyqtshell/ become good IDLE alternative.
Could well be. To see it integrated into Python (and perhaps replace IDLE), a lot of steps would need to happen, though. But perhaps you weren't asking for it to be included in Python - it can also be a good alternative if it's not included (like several other IDEs) Regards, Martin
