python : working with german umlaut

Question

months = [\"Januar\", \"Februar\", \"März\", \"April\", \"Mai\", \"Juni\", \"Juli\", \"August\", \"September\", \"Oktober\", \"November\", \"Dezember\"]

print month         


        

Answer 1

Are you sure you are working in UTF8?

Nevertheless, I would recommend to define

months = [u"Januar", u"Februar", u"März", u"April", u"Mai", u"Juni",
          u"Juli", u"August", u"September", u"Oktober", u"November", u"Dezember"]

print months[2]

and if you do some stuff basing on bytes, you encode() the data into the charset you need.
