WHAT problems? WHAT non-ASCII characters?? Consider e.g. # track_id = url2pathname(urlparse(track_id).path) print repr(track_id) parse_result = urlparse(track_id).path print repr(parse_result) track_id_replacement = url2pathname(parse_result) print repr(track_id_replacement) and copy/paste the results into your next posting. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
