The above quote from the Unicode site is misleading in this context. Guido's request was just for updating the Unicode database with the data from 5.1 - without adding new support for properties or changing the interfaces. See this page for a list of changes to the Unicode database: http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UCD.html The main file used for the unicodedata module is called "UnicodeData.txt". -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Aug 25 2008) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ :::: Try mxODBC.Zope.DA for Windows,Linux,Solaris,MacOSX for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
