[Tutor] How to display non-ascii charaters on tkinter-made GUIs?

[Hy Python]

Thanks a lot for your great reply, Gregor.

However, I just could not find the method in setdefaultencoding() in when I 
imported the sys module. Do you have to do something special to make 
setdefaultencoding() show up in the sys. namespace?


>>>import sys
>>>dir(sys)
['__displayhook__', '__doc__', '__excepthook__', '__name__', '__stderr__', 
'__st
din__', '__stdout__', '_getframe', 'argv', 'builtin_module_names', 
'byteorder',
'copyright', 'displayhook', 'dllhandle', 'exc_info', 'exc_type', 
'excepthook', '
exec_prefix', 'executable', 'exit', 'getdefaultencoding', 
'getrecursionlimit', '
getrefcount', 'hexversion', 'last_traceback', 'last_type', 'last_value', 
'maxint
', 'maxunicode', 'modules', 'path', 'platform', 'prefix', 'ps1', 'ps2', 
'setchec
kinterval', 'setprofile', 'setrecursionlimit', 'settrace', 'stderr', 
'stdin', 's
tdout', 'version', 'version_info', 'warnoptions', 'winver']
