thanks, it is useful.
but ,why this line "encoding = locale.getdefaultlocale()[1]" in
original file"IOBinding.py " ,
don't work?
If my windows set "endoding" to utf-8 here, it will work for my
puropose.
But windows only can set encoding to default setting of my Local, for me
it is cp932, Japanese. So if I input Hnagul here,
"Unsupported Characters in input" error will arise.
So I am expecting that Idle will have a settings in its configration to
encoding to UTF-8 , inspite of locale.getdefaultlocale()[1].
Ofcourse it is not good for winodws95/98 users, but very useful for
Windows XP users.
it should be work
reagrds.

Ricky,
I found your message now, because I also would encounter the same
problem.
A few unicode tutorials on the web show that it's possible to type
unicode characters into the IDLE gui...

I don't have a great understanding of unicode, but when I use a UTF-8
source file with korean strings in, and run it as a CGI script it
works fine.

Any tutorials / info anyone could point me to? Thanks...
Now I am using Hangle with Japaese.
What I did is as follow.
My Python is now 2.4.3
1) open the IOBinding.py in $python/idellib
2) see the block just after line35, and insert one line.
----
encoding = "ascii" # line 35
if sys.platform == 'win32':
# On Windows, we could use "mbcs". However, to give the user
# a portable encoding name, we need to find the code page
try:
encoding = locale.getdefaultlocale()[1]
codecs.lookup(encoding)
except LookupError:
pass
encoding = 'utf-8' ## <- this line force the encoding to utf-8.
-----
3) save the file and quit Idle and reopen Idle.
I hope my experience will solve your problem.
(It has passed 2 years and more, so you might already solve the problem.
I you know better solution, please inform me.)
