Martin v. Löwis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: As Georg says: you shouldn't be mixing Unicode objects and string objects. It's perfectly valid for string.letters to contain non-ASCII bytes, and it's no surprise that this fails for you. string.letters indeed *does* contain only letters.
In any case, testing for letter-ness by using "in string.letters" is not a good idea, as it involves a linear search. I recommend to use u"a".isalpha() instead ---------- status: pending -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3240> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
