But remark I did it consistently ;-) I.e. it was still teh same encoding, even if maybe non-existant.. ? If I try again using "mbcs" consistently, I still get the same error: $ python Python 2.5.1 (r251:54869, Apr 18 2007, 22:08:04) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> unicode('', 'mbcs') u'' >>> unicode('', 'mbcs').encode('mbcs') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> LookupError: unknown encoding: mbcs >>> mario -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
