Ok guys I think I am onto something

I serched a bit web for encoding and file writes and got a couple of good

posts about errors when using unicode in command line versus not when runing

through an IDE.

They suggested trying this in command line

import sys

print sys.getdefaultencoding()

and the result was ascii which might be a problem

the suggested solution was to use codecs so I did that

in the begining of the Editor.py after other import statments I added

import codecs

and instead of f=open(fname, "wb")

I put

f=codecs.open(fname,"wb","utf-8")

saved and run python Editor.py and in editor loaded my HW script and run it

and... for the first time it was not stuck, there is no error.

The form is shown and the label as well, but its not Z its some kind of L' "

so I made a step, I would say in good direction, but as newbie in Python I

would rather leave it to you guys.

And beside its half past midnight here so its time to go to bed.

I ll wait a couple of minutes if you have anything urgent, otherwise we can

continue tomorow.

Regards Z.
