...making Linux just a little more fun!

Hey, Pythoneers -
I've just installed the "unicode" package after finding out about it from Ren<a9>; it sounds like a very cool gadget, something I can really use... but it appears to be broken:
ben@Tyr:~$ unicode
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/unicode", line 159, in ?
out( "Making directory %s\n" % (HomeDir) )
File "/usr/bin/unicode", line 33, in out
sys.stdout.write(i.encode(options.iocharset, 'replace'))
NameError: global name 'options' is not defined
Line 570 says
(options, args) = parser.parse_args()but even if I give it an arg like "-h", it still gives me the same error. Any suggestions for fixing it before I turn it in to the Ubuntu maintainers?

I use it for a long time and I didn't even know that it was written in Python. Where did you get your version from? I use the one from the Debian releases, and the packaged version works just fine. Just for reference, can you try this version? http://web.luchs.at/support/unicode It's from my Debian Etch workstation.

Maybe your Python misses a package (or a ritual sacrifice)...

Ok, forget the question where you got your version of unicode from. 
Best, René.

The Ubuntu repository, via 'apt-get'.

That one works fine. Thanks!

The problem is that I keep eluding its coils, despite having to tweak
the LG scripts once in a while. It doesn't like me...

I'll compare the two and see if I can make some sense out of the diffs. If not, well, maybe someone else here can decode the snake vomit. ;)
