You took the unicode 's' string you utf-8 bytestringed it. Then how its possible to ask for the utf8-bytestring to decode back to unicode string with the use of a different charset that the one used for encoding and thsi actually printed the filename in greek-iso? > So that demonstrates part of your problem: even though your Linux system > is using UTF-8, your terminal is probably set to ISO-8859-7.

Please explain this t me because now that i begin to understand this encode/decode things i begin to like them! a) WHAT does it mean when a linux system is set to use utf-8? b) WHAT does it mean when a terminal client is set to use utf-8? c) WHAT happens when the two of them try to work together? > So I believe I understand how your file name has become garbage.

The '-b' option is for to display a filename in binary mode? Indeed i have changed putty to use 'utf-8' and 'ls -l' now displays the file in correct greek letters. Switching putty's encoding back to 'greek-iso' then the *displayed* filanames shows in mojabike. WHAT is being displayed and what is actually stored as bytes is two different thigns right? Ευχη του Ιησου.mp3 EΟΟΞ�-ΟΞΏΟ-ΞΞ·ΟΞΏΟ is the way the filaname is displayed in the terminal depending on the encoding the terminal uses, correct? But no matter *how* its being dislayed those two are the same file? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
