State of Unicde + WxPython on Unix platforms?

I must admit wxPython has been giving me wet dreams ever since I took a
gander at the screenshots at www.wxpython.org - in particular the one
showing off wxPython's unicode support. But somehow I can't find that
particular example in my 2.4 demo.py directory. What's the connection?
Please tell me GTK supports unicode - I need it all!

Jerry Fallwell and his crowd were right. All this pornography on the
Internet has to stop. :wink: Next thing you know we'll have unicode
bathrooms and locker rooms! :wink:

wxPython can be built to use the wxGTK2 (gtk+ 2.x) library with Unicode enabled. The wxGTK (gtk+ 1.2.x) is still a bit more stable and functional, but if I hope to be able to make wxPythonGTK2 binaries for 2.4.1.

wxPython can be built to use the wxGTK2 (gtk+ 2.x) library with Unicode
enabled.

How should I configure it for that ?

I tried it (gtk2, unicode) a few months back but got completely lost
before running out of time :wink:

The wxGTK (gtk+ 1.2.x) is still a bit more stable and

2.4.1.

When is that expected to happen ?

Phew, what a relief! I'll look into wxGTK2 right away.

Thanks a load, man!

See http://wxpython.org/README.1st.txt or http://wxpython.org/BUILD.unix.txt

Within a few weeks.
