At a guess, the most likely thing to break code in job lots in 2.5 was the change in default coding from latin-1 (or whatever the installation has the default set to) to ascii. This would have a tendency to break most modules that depended on the default source coding. Fortunately, the fix is (not quite trivially) easy - just scan the library and put the right coding comment in the front. John Roth -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
