sounds odd. >>> len('à') == len('a') True are you perhaps using an UTF-8 editor? to keep your sanity, no matter what editor you're using, I recommend adding a coding directive to the source file, and using *only* Unicode string literals for non-ASCII text. or in other words, put this at the top of your file (where "utf-8" is whatever your editor/system is using): # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- and use u'<text>' for all non-ASCII literals. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
