I'm trying to change an app so that it uses gettext for translations
rather than the idiosyncratic way I am using. I've tried the example
on the wxPython wiki
http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/RecipesI18n
but found that the accented letters would not display properly. I have
found a workaround that works from Python in a Nutshell; however it is
said in that book that
"...this is not good style".
I would like to do things "in good style"
Here are some further details:
1. all the .po files are encoded in utf-8
2. my local sitecustomization uses iso-8859-1 (yes, I could easily
change it on *my* computer, but I want the solution to work for anyone
else, without asking them to change their local default encoding).
3. I am programming under Windows XP.
The workaround I use is to write the following at the beginning of the
script:
import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')
del sys.setdefaultencoding
====
I tried various other ways to change the encoding in the example given,
but nothing else worked.
I can live with the "bad style" workaround if nothing else...
