Re: a question about Chinese characters in a Python Program

Hope you all had a nice weekend.

I have a question that I hope someone can help me out. I want to run a Python program that uses Tkinter for the user interface (GUI). The program allows me to type Chinese characters, but neverthelss is unable to show them up on screen. The follow is some of the error message I received after I logged off the program:

"Could not write output: <type "exceptions : UnicodeEncodeEr ror'>, 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-1: ordinal not in range (128)"

Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Start with the Unicode HOWTO in the HOWTOs part of the Manual set.

For 2.6
http://docs.python.org/howto/unicode.html
For 3.0, which has been updated in spite of the warning
http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/howto/unicode.html

Hi group, I am writing a RFC Server with SAP.NET Connector to connect to SAP. There are chinese characters passing back and forth. I found that all chinese characters sending from SAP are encoded with UTF-7. In order to let SAP display chinese characters correctly, i also need to encode my chinese data by UTF-7. However, i need to convert the UTF-7 encoded SAP data back to chinese

Hello all, I am having a few issues with encoding to chinese characters and perhaps someone might be able to assist. At the moment I am only able to see chinese characters when displayed as part of a datagrid. When an input textbox is displayed it does not display chinese characters, but rather the unicode characters stored in the mssql 2000 server backend.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: 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,...
