Hello All, I've added (optional) unicode support for ConfigObj. This is now available from SVN.
You can specify an encoding to decode the config file on reading. This maps to an encoding attribute on the ConfigObj instance that is also used for writing (and can be changed). You can find it in the SVN repository at : https://svn.rest2web.python-hosting.com/branches/configobj4/pythonutils/ For details of the unicode support, read my blog entry at : http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/arch_d7_2006_01_28.shtml#e204 This seems to work fine on the files I've tested it with, but unicode support is hard to get completely right. I'd appreciate it if anyone coul;d check it out and try to break it. :-) There are two remaining questions before I do a beta release. Both relate to the handling of BOM. Again see the blog. Comments/opinions sought. All the best, Fuzzyman http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/configobj.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
