I don't know about the Python bindings, but I know for sure that GTK
has excellent Unicode support. (My only concern is that one particular
API uses UTF-8 byte positions rather than Unicode codepoint indices,
which may or may not have been papered over in the Python bindings.)
Qt is probably comparable. wxPython/wxWindows maybe, maybe not, given
that it aims for Windows API similarity. But it's something worth
checking, given that Tk doesn't do so well. And yet... a few simple
tests will prove the point. Don't listen to jmf, just check if you
care.
