Interpreting Unicode scripts

[Keith MacDonald]

Hello,

I am considering embedding Python in a C++ application, which works
internally in UTF-16. The only API I can find for running scripts is
PyRun_SimpleString(const char*). Does that mean that Python is unable to
execute scripts containing characters from more than one code page?

Thanks,
Keith MacDonald

reading PEP 263 might help:

http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html

(summary: encode as utf-8, prepend "# coding: utf-8\n", and you're done)

That document did help, thanks, although I was initially disconcerted to see
that it's written in the future tense. Anyway, it works with Python 2.4.
