Hi,
I have recently discovered the power of Python. I started by trying to=
implement a Sanskrit transliteration translation program. I did accompl=
ish it but the Unicode Devanagari script is not displaying as I expect on=
the python interpreter output lines. The same sequence of unicode does =
render as expected if I write it to an html file and open it with a web b=
rowser. =20
=20
The attached code does both, I cannot figure out if I am doing somethin=
g wrong, or not setting up the fonts correctly in python, or python does =
not fully implement the unicode standard (for this script). =20
=20
I hope this is the right group to ask the question. Thanks for any hel=
p.
