INFO: Geany 0.14, GTK+ 2.14.4, GLib 2.18.2 under ubuntu 8.10

(also under window XP)

the following trouble refers to ubuntu environment:

*consider this code:*

tast = u'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' iera = u'\u00e0\u00e8\u00e9\u00ec\u00f2\u00f9'.encode('utf-8') car=''

while car != '!!':

car = raw_input('digita un carattere--->: ')

if car in iera:

print 'ok iera', car

elif car in tast:

print 'ok tast', car

elif len(car) > 1:

print 'solo 1 carattere. ne hai messi', len(car)

when usin Geany if I type 1 or more normal characters (e.g. 'ab' or 'cdf') or a single character with accent (e.g. 'è' or 'à') the program works well. if I type a group (more than 1) of characters containing an accented character (e.g. 'ghètè' or simply 'ùù'), the program stop working with the error 'in <string>' requires string as left operand

the following, intead, lines refer to the Python shell:

...

...

tast = u'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' iera = u'\u00e0\u00e8\u00e9\u00ec\u00f2\u00f9'.encode('utf-8') car='' while True:

car = raw_input('digita un carattere--->: ') car = car[0] if car in iera: print 'ok iera' elif car in tast: print 'ok tast'

digita un carattere--->: sd ok tast digita un carattere--->: d ok tast digita un carattere--->: fdg ok tast digita un carattere--->: f ok tast digita un carattere--->: r ok tast digita un carattere--->: y ok tast digita un carattere--->: h ok tast digita un carattere--->: èpioè ok iera digita un carattere--->: è ok iera

Note that the instruction *car = car[0] *under Geany issues another error: prints a strange character with a question mark inside and moves the following line right. the question is: HAS GEANY PROBLEMS WITH THOSE PARTICULAR CONVERSTIONS? thanks Virgilio semprini
