Help with windows clipboard and accented characters

[Stephen Boulet]

This little script used to work but now does not:

import win32clipboard,sys,re

s = 'André'

# Paste string to clipboard
win32clipboard.OpenClipboard(0)
win32clipboard.EmptyClipboard()
win32clipboard.SetClipboardText(s)
win32clipboard.CloseClipboard()

Now I get this on the clipboard:

André

How can I fix this?

Works on my system (Windows XP Pro, Python 2.2).
I run this, open MS Word, select EDIT-PASTE and
André is pasted in perfectly.

That's bizarre. I did upgrade to python 2.3.4 and pywin32-202. Maybe
that had something to do with it.

If you have non-ascii chars in string literals in 2.3+, I believe you need
the coding comment at the top of the file. The 2.3 what's new should say
something.
