Hi,
I used extensively python and now I find this mess with strings,
I can't even reproduce tutorial examples:
>>"apfel".encod e('utf-8') (it was with umlaut)
File "<stdin>", line 0
^
SyntaxError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc4 in position 1:
ordinal not in range(128)
>>>
Is there any good guide to this mess of codecs and hell ?
python should have stayed at version 1.5, every single 'improvement'
has been a mess. But this is the definitive hell.
thanks!

You can still download Python 1.5.2 from python.org: http://www.python.org/download/releases/1.5/

Nobody forces you to use a newer version. You can download 1.5.2 from http://www.python.org/download/releases/1.5

Basically you're not using ASCII encoding in your source text... You need to
define an encoding for your source if you're using german umlauts or other
fancy stuff.
See chapter 2.1.4 of the reference manual, and add e.g.
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
as first or second line to your script. Make sure your editor talks utf-8,
or use the encoding used by your editor. cp1552 is a good choice for
windows...

Two things: Mark the character encoding of your file ( read http://www.python.org/doc/2.3/whatsn...encodings.html ), and
then if that doesn't work try to .decode('someth ing') your string
first with the appropriate codec, then you get a unicode object for
free and you don't need the .encode('utf-8'). Also read the slides at http://farmdev.com/talks/unicode/ for some good information about
unicode in Python.

It's true -- decorators, the class/type cleanup, properties, -= and
+=, list comprehensions, generators, distutils, and all the new
modules in the standard library are completely, entirely useless.
Python SHOULD have stayed at 1.5.

totally OT, but just a few personal observations:
1. Everything was better a few hundred years ago.
2. A fool with a tool is still a fool.
(just in general, all people present excused...)
3. Simple things tend to become complex. Complex things tend to break, even
when used properly. And it might be hard to use them properly if you don't
have the understanding.
4. Simplicity can be deceptive.

This is not a troll. I'm language shopping and I want people's answers. I

Can I use any method to allocate /deallocate memory other than new/

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
