Re: [Python-markdown-discuss] Unicode errors with 1.6b rc2.

[Yuri T. <qar...@gm...>]

1.6b rc2 expects to get actual Unicode strings as arguments.  So, you
should get rid of .econde('utf-8') in your example:

    text = u'\r\n\u0c24\u0c46\u0c32\u0c41\u0c17\u0c41'
    print markdown.markdown(text)

If you read UTF8-encoded text from a file manually, you will need to
decode it.  Alternatively, there is a function markdownFromFile() that
accepts an input file path and the encoding, which will decode the
file for you.

BTW, for languages written right-to-left 1.6b rc2 now inserts
dir="rtl" attributes where necessary.
