Thanks for the initiative!
Something which should probably be added is about this issue:
>>> s = "Marc-André".decode('iso-8859-1')
>>> print s
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
UnicodeError: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range(128)
I'm not sure if this is a common issue with other languages. But at
least here (brazilian portuguese), this is a little bit inconvenient.
Fortunately, fixing this is easy, since site.py was nicely prepared
for this (thanks <author> ;-):
if 0:
# Enable to support locale aware default string encodings.
import locale
loc = locale.getdefaultlocale()
if loc[1]:
encoding = loc[1]
Enabling it should be enough:
>>> s = "Marc-André".decode('iso-8859-1')
>>> print s
Marc-André
(Marc-André, sorry for taking your name as an example ;-)
