I figured you would get it from my post, but either way works! My email address is fairly well known. Sorry for the delay in response; you caught me while I was asleep. :) I'm now responding on-list so that other people can help. > I agree that can be very specific bug, I suspect it is matter of coding.

I ran your 'couting.py' and got errors back: Traceback (most recent call last): File "foo.py", line 11, in <module> n=input("Naci\u015bnij Enter aby zako\u0144czy\u0107...") File "C:\python32\lib\encodings\cp437.py", line 12, in encode return codecs.charmap_encode(input,errors,encoding_map) UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u015b' in position 4: character maps to <undefined> So I'm guessing that codepage 437 is just plain wrong. But that shouldn't affect your system. > As you can see this problem occurs only with 3rd party software (like Komodo > Edit). > In, addition when I'm using Komodo or Notepad++ and input() function, Python > miscount bytes. See attached. > Once again thank you for your help! > Kind regards, > Aleksander Pietkiewicz My suspicion here is that your editor is saving using one encoding, and Python is expecting another. I recommend you put an encoding marker at the top of your source file: # coding=utf-8 See http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ for details. With this in place, you should be able to guarantee that the bytestream is parsed the same way by editor and interpreter. Unfortunately that's all I could offer; I was unable to duplicate the exact problem you were seeing. The contents of 'couting.py' are simple enough, so I'll paste here in case anyone can spot a problem: s = (input('Enter something : ')) z = input('Enter something : ') print('Length of the string s is', len(s)) print('Length of the string z is', len(z)) print(s) print(z) Point to note: On my Windows XP, the string lengths are one higher than expected, and they include a \r at the end. Is there any way that this could trigger a Unicode parse failure?? Chris Angelico -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
