Hi,
How the internationalization works in Python 2.6.
Internationalization is different topic. Here you are dealing with character encoding. You are actually on right track except this line:
write_to_xml(input_string_unicode, encoding)
change it to write_to_xml(input_string_unicode, 'utf-8') Basically once you have already converted the string to unicode you should just write the output as unicode and utf8 is generally more acceptable encoding. rgds vivek _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
