Hi Terry. Thanks so much for pointing all this out. I didn't know anything about the unicode builds problem. Will try to reproduce this bug even for self-learning purpose. By the way, I tested this app on Mac OSX and only one Linux distro (CentOS 5). Maybe Window is next. Regards. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
