Re: python pygame keyboard input

In response to E.S. Rosenberg's post, here are the locale variables on
my Mageia 5 and Raspberry PI. Although there are differences, I don't
see the problem. The main difference is that Mageia is set to
en_US.UTF-8 and the PI to en_GB.UTF-8.

There are also differences in variables defining numeric, paper and
others, but they don't seen to be variables that would cause my text
input problem. 


MAGEIA 5 locale

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=he_IL.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=he_IL.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=he_IL.UTF-8
LC_NAME=he_IL.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=he_IL.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=he_IL.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=he_IL.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=he_IL.UTF-8
LC_ALL=

RASPBERRY PI locale

LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
