You'll run into encoding problems anyway in your programmer's life. I don't think it's a workaround, try this article: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html I think it's highly useful, you could tell that to your students. BTW, not every editor supports the BOM. Have you tried with the explicit encoding line: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- Eclipse+Pydev seems to work with that. I'm not able to check with other editors right now, but it seems you're experiencing a simple encoding problem; your editor doesn't know which encoding you'd like to use, so it defaults to ascii or iso-8859-1 leading to such problems. -- Alan Franzoni <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Togli .xyz dalla mia email per contattarmi.
