Side note from Sweden. Å, ä and ö are not accented characters in our language. They are characters of their own. If you want to look up someone called Öhman in the phone directory you go to the Ö section not the O section. Related anecdote from Phoenix AZ. By now you have noticed my family name: Schöön. On airline tickets and boarding passes in the U.S. it gets spelled Schoeoen. This landed me in a special security check once. After a while the youngish lady performing the search started to look like 1+1 did not sum up to 2. She looked at my passport and boarding pass again and asked why I was there with her. I pointed at another young lady, the one that 'scrutinized' passports and boarding passes while chatting with a friend and said "She told me to go over here." "Wait here, I have to talk to my supervisor." A few minutes passed (I was alone in the enhances security check throughout...) and then "I am sorry but you should not have had to go through here. There was a mistake." So there you are: If you are a middle aged, caucasian guy with a passport from northern Europe and no 'funny' letters in your name your are not a threat in the eyes of TSA in Arizona. Sorry for wasting the bandwidth. /Martin -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
