I pasted from a wrong file :-) See my previous posting (a few days ago) - what I did was to implement iso8859_1_ncc encoding (iso8859_1 without control codes) and the line should have been try_encodings(text, ['ascii', 'utf-8', 'iso8859_1_ncc', 'cp1252', 'macroman'] where iso8859_1_ncc.py is the same as iso8859_1.py from python distribution, with this line different: decoding_map = codecs.make_identity_dict(range(32, 128)+range(128+32,256)) -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | Radovan Garabík http://kassiopeia.juls.savba.sk/~garabik/ | | __..--^^^--..__ garabik @ kassiopeia.juls.savba.sk | ----------------------------------------------------------- Antivirus alert: file .signature infected by signature virus.
