\260 represesents the character with octal value 260, hex B0. In Latin-1 and Unicode this is a degree sign. My guess is that your terminal is set to display UTF-8 characters rather than latin-1; in UTF-8 B0 by itself is an error. It's also possible it is set to MacRoman but in that case I think you would see an infinity sign instead of a question mark. From the Python interpreter prompt, type import sys sys.stdout.encoding to see what encoding your terminal is set to. If it is UTF-8, change the \260 to \xc2\xb0 which is the correct sequence for a degree sign in UTF-8. If it is MacRoman, change the \260 to \xa1 Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
