Terry: Thanks for the hint
In a pure ascii path I created files very similar to yours with Swedish "ä" instead of your katakana character.
I also got the same result.
a.py:
print ('something')
ä.py:
print ('other')
c.py:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import a
import ä
I ran the files with 3.2b2:
c:\Python32\python.exe a.py
something
c:\Python32\python.exe ä.py
other
c:\Python32\python.exe c.py
something
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c.py", line 3, in <module>
import ä
ImportError: No module name ä
Victor: How do I determine what code page my old w2k is using?.
Would that be 8859-1 or some older variant for western Europe or Sweden?
