Hallöchen! I'd like to map general unicode strings to safe filename. I tried punycode but it is case-sensitive, which Windows is not. Thus, "Hallo" and "hallo" are mapped to "Hallo-" and "hallo-", however, I need uppercase Latin letters being encoded, too, and the encoding must contain only lowercase Latin letters, numbers, underscores, and maybe a little bit more. The result should be more legible than base64, though.
Has anybody created such a codec already? Tschö, Torsten. -- Torsten Bronger, aquisgrana, europa vetus Jabber ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (See http://ime.webhop.org for ICQ, MSN, etc.) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
