So I've got a program that needs to be able to get French text from text files and raw_input(). This text includes accents. I've looked up how to do that, and my findings have only confused me even more. Can anyone explain what I can do (Python 2.7)? I want it to be compatible across as many operating systems as possible. I'm guessing it has something to do with changing the encoding in the files to UTF-8 or Unicode and getting the program to interpret it right.
