It is a damn shame that svn does not have a proper unicode support. They 
are probably aware of the fact but hopefully they also plan to do 
something about it.

Silly me. These mods very very mechanical and I was typing really fast 
so I knew to expect these. I hoped to track all these out when I ran the 
test myself but obviously at least one got through.

To me too but obviously only a test will make sure of this. The design 
idea was mine - well probably we all had approximately the same idea as 
it is very straightforward - but RobinD was a big help in its 
implementation. He pointed me to existing code for examples and provided 
many ideas to improve the implementation.

OK. Hopefully the problem will not persist too long.

I have been working on the functional tests (to fix the testing 
environment) as well but I think that with your better understanding of 
python you will be more efficient regarding these problems (I can of 
course learn). Hence basically, I am run out of planned work at the 
moment. The implementations that you see were written mostly on Tue&Wed 
last week. Since then I have been working on a couple of unplanned 
things but these are not as useful towards our main goal of i18n of 
Chandler. So any ideas what I should do next? Perhaps now is the time 
for me to start learning about eggs and such...

OK.

OK.

Yes I think so.

Done.

See attached files.
