Python does no such thing. When Python reads bytes from a file, it doesn't interpret or change those bytes in any way. Either there is something else going on here that you're not telling us, or the file doesn't contain what you think it contains. Please show us the exact code you're using to process this file, and show us the exact contents of the file you're processing. -- Carsten Haese http://informixdb.sourceforge.net -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
