you're right...the source of text are html pages and obviously webmasters have poor knowledge of encodings, so the meta declared the encoding as ISO-8859-1 but the real encoding is Windows-1252 and yes it uses \x92 as apostrophe, so the problem isn't Python -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
