Hi,
I just started to use Python a few days ago because I got fed up of so much convoluted Perl code. ;)
Anyway, I have to read some text files and process the words appearing in them. I have discovered, to
my surprise, that accents like (á, à, ...) get replaced by a 4 character code. Is there any class/module/option
available to read *text* files with non english characters in them?
Maybe the Python installed in my Debian system is compiled with the wrong options.
Thanks for your time.
Rafa
