Re: [dabo-users] Reenv: Problem in Dabo demo

Finally, it seems that I'm bound to 'latin-1' encoding.

I changed line 56 in dTextBox.py, in onTextKeyChar() section in the demo:

cd, ch = evt.keyCode, evt.keyChar

for this one:

cd, ch = evt.keyCode, unicode(evt.keyChar, 'latin-1')

and now runs fine and logit() displays a beautiful a-acute.

More, unicode(evt.keyChar, 'utf-8') doesn't work.

But, please, if anybody has a better approach, make me know it. I have a

conceptual confusion with this encodings stuff. For example, if I put the

line # -*- coding: latin-1 -*- on all the affected demo modules, will it

works as is?

Greetings

But since you're learning Python as you go, it might be a good example to

keep attention to Python's quirks like ASCII vs. Unicode "strings".
