Thanks for the explanation. Of course I didn't want to mix Unicode and Latin in one string, my snippet just tried to illustrate the point. I'm new to Python -- I came from C, and C gives a rat's ass about encoding. It just dumps bytes and that's that. robert -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
