Unicode & Pythonwin / win32 / console?

[Robert]

Hello,

I'm using Pythonwin and py2.3 (py2.4).  I did not come clear with this:
I want to use win32-fuctions like win32ui.MessageBox,
listctrl.InsertItem ..... to get unicode strings on the screen - best
results according to the platform/language settings (mainly XP Home,
W2K, ...).

Also unicode strings should be displayed as nice as possible at the
console with normal print-s to stdout (on varying platforms, different
windows/countries and linux, ...; I py2exe/cxfreeze apps) ...

Any hints how to do this and make it as complete and automated as
possible?
