Martin, I received a bug report against cplay (a front-end for audio players written in Python and using ncurses) that it doesn't support UTF-8. While trying to solve this problem, the bigger question came up whether the Python bindings actually support UTF-8.
In Debian, we have a libncurses5 library and a libncursesw5 for wide characters. Is it just a matter of compiling the Python bindings against libncursesw5 or is there work needed on the bindings itself so they support UTF-8? I know approximately nothing about UTF-8 and since you're the expert in this area, I wanted to ask if you can give some advice on this. I guess once there are UTF-8 aware Python curses bindings, I have to change cplay to use UTF-8 internally (however that may work), but right now I'm wondering about the bindings itself. Thanks for any help you can provide. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
