Greetings! Although python has had full unicode support for filenames for a long time on selected platforms (e.g. Windows), there is one glaring deficiency: It cannot import from paths containing unicode. I´ve tried creating folders with chinese characters and adding them to path, to no avail. The standard install path in chinese distributions can be with a non-ANSI path, and installing an embedded python application there will break it. At the moment this is hindering the installation of EVE on Chinese internet-cafés. A cursory glance at import.c shows that the import mechanism is fairly complicated, and riddled with "char *path" thingies, and manual string arithmetic. Do you have any suggestions on a clean way to unicodify the import mechanism? A completely parallel implementation on the sys.path[i] level? Are there other platforms beside Windows that would profit from this? Cheers, Kristján -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
