Trying to use the degree symbol

SeanT, can you post a SSCCE project showing this problem, or give me some exact steps to replicate? I’d like to get it corrected if I can.

Just for the record, the way to print/display any string outside of 7-bit ASCII (ie with a character code > 127) is

print u'°'It’s stupid, but that’s the Python spec, and we made some changes in 7.6.4 to hold to the spec better (to support non-English languages). It doesn’t hurt to put the u in front of every string, even if it only contains 7-bit ASCII. Python doesn’t have consistent support for the unicode() construct, so I would advise going with u’somestring’ instead.
