Hi all,

I am looking into developing a DOOR using Python 3.x for Mystic.

However, I cannot use write() or writeln() to output a string containing
special characters (such as „ [ae] ” [oe] á [sz]), they will display
incorrectly. The BBS is running in CP437 and so are clients.

If I encode the characters manually and call write() or writeln() using a
bytestring, the user gets disconnected immediately. This may be a bug.

What is the correct way to get a Python 3.x script to output special
characters in Mystic?

Best Regards,
Sebastian
