If you can manually tell your client to use >ISO-8859-7, you should see it correctly. I think this is the case too Steven, but it suprises me to see that Chrome ignores the charset header. Actually when i told explicitly Chrome to display everythign as utf-8 it presented the filaname properly. py> print(s.encode('ISO-8859-7').decode('latin-1')) Why you are encoding the 's' string to greek-iso? Isn't it set by itself in greek-iso since it uses greek-iso lettering? I think you are very close to solution but i cannot clearly see it yet. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
