Re: [orca-list] Funny error msg

Hi Lawrence,

There is a web page somewhere that describes this message.  Python needs 
to be told how to interpret these characters.

chnames.py in trunk has the line
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
at the top of the file.  Adding this line in should make things work for 
you.

Hth,
