[wxPython] Character maps without unicode support?

wxPython Users

Hi All,

I am using wxGTK and am wondering if there is a way to retrieve the currently used character map (like ISO 8859-1).

If someone could point me in the correct direction it would help greatly as I really do not want to experiment with the GTK2 code.

Many thanks

Since it's a static in C++ it will be wxLocale_GetSystemEncodingName() in
Python.

Yep I found that thanks to you both.

I am writing an Instant Message application for Jabber (actually Iruka
was a good source of code to help me start. - thanks to the Iruka
people)

I have a different problem now, and that receiving non-locale supported
characters. Is there any way I can use UTF8 fonts in text controls.

Also is there anyway I can get display idle time from wxWindows so I
know if a user is using his console or not?

Many thanks
