wxPython Cannot convert from the charset 'latin-1'

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

I'm trying to teach "dugui.py" (a tiny GUI for restructuredtext written in
wxPython) to accept files in isolatin-1 encoding. It displays e.g. German
umlauts correctly but then I get a popup window saying
Python Error
Cannot convert from the charset 'latin-1'!

How can I find out where this did come from. Running it under pdb
isn't helpful either.

Many thanks for a hint,

Probably your best bet is to post wxPython specific questions to the
wxPython user's group: http://www.wxpython.org/maillist.php

But I did a little Google-fu and found this for you:
