add UTF compatibility to 4000 lines of python code

I have a backup applications with a simple GUI and test cases. GUI: 1200 lines console python programs: 620 lines libs: 1400 lines tests: 700 lines The application will run on Linux and Windows and it needs to be UTF compatible (meaning to be able to backup directories that contain UTF characters, to get their sizes and other details). You can bid on two things: A) implementation of UTF in the application (should be a simple job, basically adding repr() and unicode() but I'm not sure of this) or B) teaching me the details on implementing UTF (I need to understand the whole process and I will have questions ... a lot of them. This will also require for you to send me sample python examples regarding our UTF discussions). I estimate for A) 30$ and for B) 10$. Bid on xor(A,B). ## Deliverables I will not be available on the 4th through 7th of this month. If you can complete the work until 3.03.2010 please say so in the bid (I'll give these bids priority). I can be available on the chatroom from 9-15 GMT
