What is the level of support for Unicode in Zope ? I would like to develop a Zope application that can be displayed in different languages (e.g. Kanji) but can find no mention of Unicode in the Zope documentation and it appears that Python will not support it until version 1.6. Thanks Robert Leftwich

There are a couple of questions here, and I'll try and answer them as best I can... Q. Can you store Unicode information in documents? A. I would think so, just using 16-bit wide characters. Q. Can you edit these? A. Nope Q. Can you send them to a web browser correctly encoded? A. Not currently, though this wouldn't be too difficult to change the encoding rules I suppose. At this point, no, you're stuck with ISO-Latin-1 I'd imagine. This probably won't change until Python goes unicode.

I think you could use the modules wstring (search for unicode at the python site) to add the needed conversions to output unicode in the needed encoding. Or just ignore the conversions and use UTF-8 as the encoding and a unicode-aware client (NS >= 3 for display and IE >= 4.0 for editing) ------------ Hannu
