That's really strange. The chinese characters I am inputing into the post are not being displayed. Basically, what I am doing is this:
h = Header('(Some Chinese characters inserted here', 'GB2312') And when I run this code, I receive the following error message: UnicodeDecodeError: 'gb2312' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: illegal multibyte sequence Any idea what I may be doing wrong? How do I convert Chinese characters into something like p\xf6stal in the original code posted by Martin? Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm not even sure what class/method to look into for this. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
