The special characters of the Spanish language:

First of all I want to thank Ed Leaf and Paul McNett for Frame Dabo. I come from programming in Visual Foxpro and I have looked for an option to program that can complement me, so I found Dabo.

I had the following problem:

• Names of columns in tables with special characters like ñ, ó, é, etc.

And could not define them in Pytho with Dabo.

But I found the solution and I hope that if there are others like me with the same problem, either with Spanish or another set of characters, I can serve.

I found it in a PDF of Ángel Luis García García (angelluis78@gmail.com):

"Introduction to Python", this is:

Create a .py file, , and name it: "Sitecustomize.py"

Import sys Sys.setdefaultencoding ('iso-8859-1')

And put it in: C: \ Python27 \ Lib \ site-packages

That is all, I hope it is useful, because with this the problem is solved, do not modify the tables, much less Dabo.

This is most probably unneccessary if not utter nonsense - with Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1) you’ll get problems next time if you need Eastern European (Latin, Greek or Cyrillic) characters. It doesn’t even contain the € sign (you might use 8859-15). Did you try 'utf-8'?

Or did you just forget that Python < 3 needs the unicode marker in front of strings? like this: u'fiëé visuëlle' And that you need to define the encoding of your Python files in a comment in the first few lines? like this: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

(I’m currently not using dabo any more, so I didn’t try if that’s enough.)
