      Hi.

      

      I'm learning python. python 2.6.6 on ubuntu 10.10 I'm swedish so I
      try to use

      unicode to get swedish characters. I've checked wikipedia.

      utf-8 is said to be an unicode encoding..

      

      this is the test program:

      

      # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

      

      import readline

      

      s=raw_input(u'Månadslön:')

      

      and this is the output:

      

      Traceback (most recent call last):

        File "test_uni.py", line 5, in <module>

          s=raw_input(u'Månadslön:')

      UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe5'
      in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)

      

      I'm doing something wrong...

      

      Mikael

      

    
    Your console is not unicode ready.

    Please take a look at the locale command and vars like

    LC_ALL, LC_LANG etc.



Aha...      Ok,thank you

----------------

But  I checked this out.. Gnome terminal is set to 'unicode utf-8 encoding'  
and locale command  returns

LANG=sv_SE.utf8
LC_CTYPE="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_TIME="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_PAPER="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_NAME="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="sv_SE.utf8"
LC_ALL=

if I remove the u before strings its works..  it must be a 8-bit subset 
of utf-8?
