I was waiting for someone to call me on that ...
As was pointed out, I'm not American. I guess the problem stems from an
American cultural assumption, though, in that Americans (I think) developed the
ASCII character set without any thought for other languages.
Will a standard xterm display chr(130) as é in linux for you, Max? Or under Mac
OS X?
Anyway, in Python3000 all strings will be unicode, so it won't matter then :-)
