I was waiting for someone to call me on that ... As was pointed out, I'm not American. I guess the problem stems from an American cultural assumption, though, in that Americans (I think) developed the ASCII character set without any thought for other languages. Will a standard xterm display chr(130) as é in linux for you, Max? Or under Mac OS X? Anyway, in Python3000 all strings will be unicode, so it won't matter then :-) -- John. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
