Python - Unicode

The execution of a simple script is not going as thought.

notAllowed = {"â":"a", "à":"a", "é":"e", "è":"e", "ê":"e",
 "î":"i", "ô":"o", "ç":"c", "û":"u"}
word = "dôzerté"
print word
for char in word:
 if char in notAllowed.keys():
 print "hooray"
 word = word.replace(char, notAllowed[char])
print word
print "finished"

The output return the word unchanged, even though it should have changed "ô" and "é" to o and e, thus returning dozerte...

Any ideas?

  • It might have (not very familiar with Py3), but I tried that in 2.7 and after adding unicode marks it worked for me :) Commented Mar 8, 2012 at 14:26
  • Thanks kgr. Your fix worked great! :) edit: sorry, i's python 2.7 Commented Mar 8, 2012 at 14:39
  • @Joey: Python 3 still has byte strings and character strings same as Python 2. There is nothing wrong with byte strings per se; you still need them in many scenarios where you are dealing with binary data and non-Unicode interfaces. All Python 3 changed is that (a) it made the unprefixed-string-literal syntax refer to char strings instead of byte strings, and (b) used char strings for several interfaces that were previously bytes but work equally well as bytes or chars.
