Any string not ASCII encoded, generated by my script in IDLE, will be displayed as hexadecimal. Essentially, I was in a round house trying to find the corner ! No, actually you are doing great. This is correct output, it is just not > displaying in the form you expect. The data is correct. after reading your email, I wrote a follow-up script that wrote the generated output to a file in my Apache document root, and eureka, I was able to get the result I desired. Thanks for your help.
