Summary: IDLE can't save UTF-8 files on Windows

Initial Comment:
When trying to save a UTF-8-encoded Python source 

code file containing non-ASCII characters, the new IDLE 

of Python 2.3 (final) fails on Windows:



>>> Exception in Tkinter callback

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\PYTHON23\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1345, in 

__call__

    return self.func(*args)

  File "C:\PYTHON23\lib\idlelib\IOBinding.py", line 347, in 

save_as

    if self.writefile(filename):

  File "C:\PYTHON23\lib\idlelib\IOBinding.py", line 370, in 

writefile

    chars = chars.replace("\n", self.eol_convention)

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 

0xc3 in position 241: ordinal not in range(128)





The following patch fixes the problem:

          self.fixlastline()

          if self.eol_convention != "\n":

              chars = chars.replace("\n", 

self.eol_convention)

          try:

              f = open(filename, "wb")

              f.write(chars)

      def writefile(self, filename):

          self.fixlastline()

!         chars = self.text.get("1.0", "end-1c")

          if self.eol_convention != "\n":

              chars = chars.replace("\n", 

self.eol_convention)

+         chars = self.encode(chars)

          try:

              f = open(filename, "wb")

              f.write(chars)

I believe Kurt already fixed this one for Py2.3.1
