Hello again!
Well, I promise this is not a bad habit of mine. I've actually bought myself a
few books about the lovely snake (did I just spend a year learning Java, why's
that?).
I thought I should brag a little for my fellow developer colleagues though, so
i spent yetserday putting together a nice litttle Grid app using wxPython. The
thing is, this little app reads records from a database using odbc.. and that's
the problem.
I'm swedish, our databae is full of horrible characters with strange dots on
top and Python won't have none of it. it falls apart telling me that it can't
decode that sort of thingy!
So.. will I have to do some terrible magic storing all single values from the
database in strings and run unicode methods on them before showing them in my
wxGrid or is there a better way?
(I'm going on bragging about how little code I need to write when I'm NOT using
java.. ;)
this is what I do now, i stole some example from thw web
#fill the grid with data from the database
for row in range(len(db.data)):
for col in range(len(db.data[row])):
values = db.data[row][col]
self.grid_1.SetCellValue(row, col, str(values))
any help is welcome, best regards to you all
Stefan
Sweden
