[pygtk] coding of characters (in general and greek in particular)

[Pascal DUCHATELLE]

Hi,
 
 I am trying to understand character coding and python (unicode...). Can someone tell me why in IDLE I have to enter the sequence u'\u03B1' to get an alpha greek sign displayed while in the texttest.py file that comes with th pyGTK demo package there are some 'cabalistic' characters (in the greek example section) that are displayed like greek symbols just right.
 Thanx.
 
 Pascal
