Character Problem

Harun BAYKAL

Hi,

I am studying on an addon developed for QGIS, a GIS software. But I
have a problem. The extension has been developed with QT and Python.
Actually Python is used for the interface design. For the user
interface Python reads some values from some database files. I am not
experienced Python user and the first developer of the addon had
written the python codes for his database. And his database
doesn't include any characters than the usual characaters. But my
database file contains many characters which are not used in English.
So I can not compile the extension because Python can not read the
database files.

So how can I change the python files for making it to read the
databases without modifying the database. Otherwise I had to clear all
the non usual characters from the database file which means most of
the names and strings will be wrong. So somehow I had to make the
python files to read the other unicode and non english characters?
Anybody have any idea about how I can I fix such a problem.

Thanks
Harun

All I get from this description is, that you have a problem with encodings
but what is the *specific* problem? Where does the program fail? With
what exception(s)?
