[Python-Dev] PEP 383 and GUI libraries

["Martin v. Löwis"]

I checked how GUI libraries deal with half surrogates.
In pygtk, a warning gets issued to the console

/tmp/helloworld.py:71: PangoWarning: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to
pango_layout_set_text()
  self.window.show()

and then the widget contains three crossed boxes.

wxpython (in its wxgtk version) behaves the same way.

PyQt displays a single square box.
