Some general advice (Looks like I am reiterating what MRAB said -- I type slower :): 1. If possible, use unicode strings for everything. That is, don't use both str and unicode within the same project. 2. If that isn't possible, convert strings to unicode as early as possible, work with them that way, then convert them back as late as possible. 3. Know what type of string you are working with! If a function returns or accepts a string value, verify whether the expected type is unicode or str. 4. Consider switching to Python 3.x, since there is only one string type (unicode). -- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
