Paradoxical would be a better description than invalid, if it contains things that it can't contain. If you decoded iso-8859-15 as if it were iso-8859-1, you would get u'\xa4' (Currency Sign) instead of the Euro. From the original error: "UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character u'\xa4' in position 11834: character maps to <undefined>" that seems to be what happened, as you said. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
