Just guessing but maybe the problem is that it's not a UTF8 file and Python is falling back to latin1 (because it knows it isn't ASCII). You say there is a unicode character in it (\u2501). But that character, encoded in UTF-8 is 0xE2 0x94 0x81. Try changing the charset declaration to match the actual unicode encoding that it is using. Not sure what it is but possibly UTF-16. cheers, raf _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
