[Boa Constr] Unicode installation problems

[Dom D. <myd...@gm...>]

Hello All,

I use Spe as an editor. But I 'd like to test Boa.
I installed Boa with the .exe. I am on Win XP SP2, using python 2.5,
wxPython 2.8.7.1 unicode.
When I try to run my files on Boa, it gives me a UnicodeDecodeError ....
As far as I understand, it seems Boa is built with wx version 2.8.4 ANSI
(see below).
Is there any way to run Boa:
1) with wx 2.8.7.1 ?
2) with a wx unicode version ?
3) Without putting the mess on my python and wx installations ! (I already
had some difficulties correctly install spe with unicode...) ?
4) BTW, why is Boa not built with a unicode version of wx? It seems I am not
the only one having some problems ;)

My encodings are as follows (run with the shell of Boa, Spe and Idle):
BOA
>>> import sys
>>> sys.getdefaultencoding()
'ascii'
>>> import wx
>>> wx.GetDefaultPyEncoding()
'cp1252'
>>> import wx
>>> wx.version()
'2.8.4.0 (msw-ansi)'

SPE
>>>import sys
>>>sys.getdefaultencoding()
'iso-8859-15'
>>> import wx
>>> wx.GetDefaultPyEncoding()
'iso-8859-15'
>>>wx.version()
'2.8.7.1 (msw-unicode)'

IDLE
>>> import sys
>>> sys.getdefaultencoding()
'iso-8859-15'
>>> import wx
>>> wx.GetDefaultPyEncoding()
'iso-8859-15'
>>> wx.version()
'2.8.7.1 (msw-unicode)'

Thanks in advance
