Re: [Bkchem-user] UTF-8 in RedHat 9

[Beda Kosata]

Hi Per,
I have had a look at the internet and I have found the following 
bugreport. I am not sure if it relates to your problem, but have a look 
at it : 
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2003-November/196229.html.

As for now, I have two possible solutions - either
1/ upgrade at least Tcl/Tk to 8.4.x, the best would be to upgrade python 
as well (to 2.3.4), or
2/ locate the file bkchem.py (it is the one you run in the single 
deployment install, or it should be somewhere like 
/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/bkchem/bkchem.py if you used the 
setup.py script to install it). In this file lines 49 and 50 should be

    import __builtin__
    __builtin__.__dict__['_'] = lambda m: m

take them and copy them once again under it, without the starting 
whitespace. You should get something like this:

    import __builtin__
    __builtin__.__dict__['_'] = lambda m: m
import __builtin__
__builtin__.__dict__['_'] = lambda m: m

now save the file and try it. In this case the localization will not 
work (you will have only the english text, which does not matter as 
there is not Swedish localization :)

Unfortunately I cannot test it on a RedHat right now, but my friend has 
one, so once he will have time, I will make more experiments with it and 
write some more.

Cheers
                BEDA
