Cool. It works for me now. import sys compare = u"Äis" print compare str = raw_input("Enter music:") words = str.split() uniList=[] for word in words: uni=unicode(word,sys.stdin.encoding) uniList.append(uni) print uniList[0] if(compare!=uniList[0]): print "Not the same: " + compare + " " + uniList[0] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
