Hello Chris.
Thanks for your interest.

Presumably you expect to run this from the command line. It works as
expected:
French: année
3.5.3 (default, Sep 27 2018, 17:25:39)
[GCC 6.3.0 20170516]
However, with a slight modification:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
from jinja2 import Template
print ("Content-type: text/html\n\n")
print(Template("French: {{french}}").render({"french": "année"}))
print(sys.version)
and running it in a browser (tried both chrome and Firefox),
it fails as before: blank web page. Replacing the accented character
displays the expected result:
French: annee 3.5.3 (default, Sep 27 2018, 17:25:39) [GCC 6.3.0 20170516]
Thanks to all who have pitched in. As I previously mentioned, I have a
work-around, so no big deal, but I would like to get to the bottom of this.
Cheers, Tony
