Question
Python is currently Unicode Compliant.
What happens when strings are read in from text files that were
created using GB 2312-1980, or KPS 9566-2003, or other, equally
obscure code ranges?
The idea is to read text in the file format, and replace it with the
appropriate Unicode character,then write it out as a new text file.
[Trivial to program, but incredibly time consuming to actually code]

Python has two kinds of strings: byte strings, and Unicode strings.
If you read data from a file, you get byte strings - i.e. a sequence
of bytes representing literally the encoded contents of the file.
If you want Unicode strings, you need to use codecs.open.

Not at all:
data = codecs.open(fil ename, "r", encoding="gb231 2")
codecs.open(new file, "w", encoding="utf-8").write(da ta)
assuming that by "appropriat e Unicode character" you actually mean
"I want to write the file encoded as UTF-8".

hi,
recently i discovered a memory leak in our code; after some investigation i
could reduce it to the following problem:
return objects of functions are handled as temporary objects, hence their
dtor is called immediately and not at the end of the function. to be able to
use return objects (to avoid copying) i often assign them to a const
reference.
now, casting a const return object from a function to a non-const reference
to this...

We're currently doing some tests to determine the performance of static vs
non-static functions, and we're coming up with some odd(in our opinion)
results. We used a very simple setup. One class had a static function, and
the one class had a non-static function. Both of these functions did the
exact same thing.
The test function:
public void Test(){
decimal y = 2;
decimal x = 3;

Is it at all possible to leverage mixed-mode assemblies from AppDomains
other than the default AppDomain? Is there any means at all of doing this?
Mixed-mode is incredibly convenient, but if I cannot load/unload/reload
extensions into my large and slow-to-load application during development
without restarting the process then the disadvantages may outweigh the
advantages.
I've got a mixed-mode program in which I create a new AppDomain...

I need help writing a function for a program that is based upon the various operations of a matrix and I keep getting a "non-aggregate type" error. My guess is that I need to dereference my pointers, but I'm not sure. Please help.
The code:

int i, j;
