You'll need to do some encoding/decoding work. Check out the following links on unicode: http://www.reportlab.com/i18n/python_unicode_tutorial.html http://www.amk.ca/python/howto/unicode http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/unicode/python.html And here's a few links on parsing: http://docs.python.org/api/arg-parsing.html http://www.diveintopython.org/xml_processing/unicode.html Probably more information than you need, but it should help answer your question (and maybe any future questions about Unicode).
