I definitely advocate UTF-8 for any streaming scenario, as you're iterating unidirectionally over the data anyways, so why use/transmit more bytes than needed. The only failing of UTF-8 that I've found in the real world(*) is when you have to requirement of constant-time indexing into strings. -tkc -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
