Need help!!!!!!!!!!



I trying to run a .py file in python2 interpreter...but the thing is that this file contains the swedish letters ä,å,ö

so the output is missing these letters...instead there is some other funny characters.....

I know that I am susposed to have the latin6 package on with the nordic iso-8859-10 encoding system....


but the thing is...that I dont know how to

I dunno how it is in python (it has been a long time since I last worked with it) but in C/C++ you need to get the handle of scape sequences to perform Swedish (or whatever other characters outside the ASCII table) to do not get weird characters. Here is some examples:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
unsigned char tecken;
tecken = '\x84'; // Det här är hex till tecknet ä, decimal-kod är 132


// tecken = '\x86'; // Det här är hex till tecknet å, decimal-kod är 134
// tecken = '\x94'; // Det här är hex till teckent ö, decimal-kod är 148

cout << tecken << "\n\n";

return 0;
}

I mean that if you want to write :

"Mitt namn är Megaman X", it should be:

"Mitt namn \x84r Megaman X". So it's sure to work at the console without a problem. Check to see if python supports either hex or scape sequences(I really cannot remember, been coding with it and pygame but I don't remember needing it). A complete list of characters is found here:

Lycka till!

More details to find the hex code. After finding the character in questions from the ASCII table, let's say "ä", it has code decimal 132 right? Open a calculator with advanced options (as hex and oct.) type 132, then choose hex. You will see that the hex code of the number 132 is 84, that's how I came up with '\x84' sequence.

great....


thats a way to solve it.....but I am sure there is another way that some how implements the nordic encoding system....


one way or another I will find out....
