[Python-apps-team] Bug#695443: unicode problem with canto

[patrick295767]

Package: canto
Version: 0.7.9-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

it has a little problem with Unicode. Obvious that python based, so it
is pretty difficult to code those thing. 

Unicode and python are really an annoying point.
The last python is better for that, but still it does not work
transparently like it should. That's python nothing to do about it :( 

Good Luck
Best Wishes
