[Matplotlib-users] tk, pylab and unicode

[Xavier G. <gn...@ob...>]

Hello,

I'm a french user and I'm trying to put an  'é' into a pylab title.
My locales and fully utf-8 and the code is the following under ipthon:
import pylab
a="é"
pylab.plot([1])
pylab.title(a)

raises the error :
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 0: 
ordinal not in range(128)

Is it a bug or a I doing something wrong? I'm using up to date pylab svn 
with the tk backend.

The prolem is that only the tk backend is fully functionnal on my box. 
HTe gtk one never shows the buttons (debian up to date sid).

Xavier
