This is probably the most significant problem with the usage of strings -- and there's nothing much we can do about it since it's hard-wired in the programmers mind... most other languages have the same problem. In the long run, I think that the Unicode type should be used for all text data and strings for binary data of unknown encoding. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg CEO eGenix.com Software GmbH ______________________________________________________________________ Company & Consulting: http://www.egenix.com/ Python Software: http://www.egenix.com/files/python/
