Hi Roger, Thanks, I understand it now, I didn't yet receive in the mail any replies to my post on py-dev when I read your post here! That's why it didn't make any sense to me.
I didn't yet have a chance to try the workaround given in the bug-report (remove MBCS encoding line). Hope to find time soon. thanks, --Tim -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
