This is the ideal solution. :-) > Any gurus got a python solution? That was to be expected: http://docs.python.org/lib/string-methods.html#l2h-180 Notice the second argument for encoding, by default it is 'strict', and it bails out if any error occurs. You have the explanation for the different values of the second argument here: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-codecs.html So you want probably 'ignore'.
