No spanish specific characters in textarea

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi
I am using pgu 0.12.3 in an OLPC (sugar> debian based) machine.
The textarea works fine in general, but when I press ñ, á, é, or the other 
vowels(very important in spanish), I get nothing on screen and an error (key 
ntilde unrecognized, dead_acute unrecognized, and so on).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Howdy, I wasn't able to reproduce the problem with my system (PGU 0.12.3, 
pygame 1.9.1, python 2.6.5). The spanish characters show up okay in the 
textarea widget. Just guessing, but perhaps the problem is related to the OLPC 
environment. 

I found a reference to the error message you were receiving. Checkout:

Look in the function _keyevent (towards the bottom): that would definitely fail 
on unicode characters. Maybe that code is being called at some point?

I'm closing this ticket since it seems to be more an issue with the OLPC python 
code.
