To ask another way: how do I convert from a file:// URL to a local path in a standard way, so that filepaths from two different sources will work the same way in a dictionary?
Right now I'm using the following source: track_id = url2pathname(urlparse(track_id).path) url2pathname is from urllib; urlparse is from the urlparse module. The problems occur when the filenames have non-ascii characters in them -- I suspect that the URLs are having some encoding placed on them that Python's decoder doesn't know about. Thank you all in advance, and thank you for Python. -Wm -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
