What OS? Where did you get your python distribution? Anyway, I believe utf-8 codec was in the python.org distribution since the introduction of unicode (around python 2.0). If you can't use utf-8 codec right out of the box, something is really wrong with your setup. -- Leo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
