Like so: python -u parse.py 1> /tmp/output3.txt 2> /dev/null but it quickly exits prematurely. Hmm. I can't see the traceback because of course that goes out with stderr. It runs noisily and normally if I don't direct ...

This is in python 2.4. Here is my situation. I pull a string from a database, and it contains an umlauted 'o' (\xf6). At this point if I run type(value) it returns str. I then attempt to run .decode('utf-8'), and I get an error ('utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 1-4). Really my goal here is just to successfully make type(valu...

Does anyone have good suggestions for displaying "max length exceeded" errors to a user when a single character doesn't equal one byte? I'm at a loss for words, but I found a quote that's more eloquent: If the buffer runs over by three bytes, what do you tell the user? Three bytes could be one, two, or three characters that the user...
How do I make Apple's Cocoa GUI controls not automatically "flip" lines that contain right-to-left text (such as arabic)?
