Subject: [gentoo-user] python wide-unicode problem
Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2011 09:13:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1295597607.27673.0@numa-i> (raw)

Hi,

using Python3.1, if I say
import site

I get

  File "/usr/lib64/python3.1/site.py", line 472, in setencoding
    sys.setdefaultencoding(encoding) # Needs Python Unicode build !
ValueError: Can only set default encoding to utf-8

But

emerge -vp dev-lang/python-3.1.3  shows
USE="doc gdbm ipv6 ncurses readline sqlite ssl threads tk (wide-
unicode) xml -build -examples -wininst"

Why is 'wide-unicode' in parentheses?
eix dev-lang/python shows
the wide-unicode use flag.

What's going on here?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.
