Ok, to find out where the problem is I switched again to IDLE and made very

simple program

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

tekst="ŠĐČĆŽ"

print tekst

it worked without problem.

Then I removed the comment at the top and IDLE showed me I/O warning window

with the following message:

Non-ASCII found, yet no encoding declared. Add a line like

# -*- coding: cp1250 -*-

to your file.

Choose OK to save this file as CP1250

Edit your general options to silence this warning

Ok/Edit my file

I anyway run it and it worked ok and showed correct letters.

IDLE apparently found out that my WinXP installation is set to use CP1250

(Serbian Latin), which is needed to enable VFP to show my characters (ŠĐČĆŽ)

correctly. Could this be problem? I will switch to english temporarily to

check this out, but I have to restart ....

Ok, after restart I used the same IDLE program I wrote (see above) and it

appeared incorect immidiately. this is how it looks now.

tekst="ŠDEAŽ"

print tekst

When run it worked and showed above characters, so I added another 2 lines

and the program looks now like this:

tekst="ŠDEAŽ"

tekst2="ŠĐČĆŽ"

print tekst

print tekst2

when tried to run it it promped to save it saying something like "Cannot

save as CP1250 anymore, saving as UTF-8", I confirmed and it showed both

strings as they appear. (no comment line with coding at the top)

Now I switched again to Dabo and tried the PyCon Hello world form again with

unicode strings in a couple of variations and it failed each and every time.

Here is the complete error from command prompt:
