I'm not sure which list this discussion will end up on, but Earle should take a look at this thread in mod_python archive: http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2006-February/020223.html Ultimately it looks like a limitation of flex, so we have have 3 choices: 1. Find another lexer that supports Unicode. 2. Fix Flex to support Unicode ourselves. (Haha... not likely). 3. Re-write the psp parser in pure python as per Nicolas' suggestion in the above quoted thread. 4. Ignore the whole thing and hope this Unicode thing is just a fad and will soon go away. ;) Perhaps we can refactor psp to use a parser plugin? Then users would have a choice between py_psp_parser (Unicode but slower) and c_psp_parser (fast but no Unicode). Jim
