Postscript: using cut and paste, I can enter "s=3D'=E4=F6'" in IDLE at = the Python prompt, both on Linux and on Windows 98. It prints as '\xe4\xf6' on both systems. What changed?

Perhaps the Tcl version? That sounds like the issue that Marc talked about: Tk behaves differently when text is entered programmatically (and perhaps through cut-n-paste), as compared to text entered through the keyboard. Using cut-n-paste with Tk 8.3.1, CVS python, X11R6.3 on Solaris 8 still gives me the UnicodeError.
