Hi, I wasn't exactly sure where to send this, I don't know if it is a bug in Python or not. This is rare, but it has occurred a few times and seems to be reproducible for those who experience it.
Examine this code: >>> try: >>> shutil.copy("/file.xml","/Volumes/External/file.xml") >>> except Exception, err: >>> print sys.exc_info()[0] >>> print err This is the output: exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd6 in position 26: ordinal not in range(128)] What could the possible cause of this be? Shouldn't shutil simply be reading and writing the bytes and not character decoding them? Cheers, David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
