[Python-bugs-list] [Bug #113795] IDLE 0.6 with Python 2.0b1 doesn't handle chinese characters

[noreply@sourceforge.net]

Bug #113795, was updated on 2000-Sep-07 06:49

Project: Python

Priority: 7
Summary: IDLE 0.6 with Python 2.0b1 doesn't handle chinese characters

Details: I just switched from 1.5.2 to 2.0b1 on W2K/Simplified Chinese version. I used to be able to input chinese characters directly into IDLE, and access violations did happen quite often. Now with 2.0b1, I can't even input chinese characters into the IDLE window anymore:IDLE automatically changed chinese characters into illegible stuff; it's the same when I copy from a text editor and paste into the IDLE window. I guess it's related to the induction of unicode support in 2.0, but is there a workaround I should know, or I should switch back to 1.5.2, or it's a bug worth fixing?

Thanks.

Assigned to Fredrik, because Swedes have an uncanny intuition about how IDLE and Tk work in the presence of characters I can't get at <0.9 wink>.  Boosted the priority because it sounds like a legit practical problem.
