That makes a lot of sense. Thank you. >>> 'før'.upper() 'F\xf8R' >>> 'FØR' 'F\xd8R' >>> import locale >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "") 'no_NO' >>> 'før'.upper() 'F\xd8R' >>> 'FØR' 'F\xd8R' I must make a note of the LC_ALL variable in the installation README. I for one have been running Gentoo Linux for two years without ever setting the locale, - but now I've finally gotten around to write my own /etc/env.d/02locale file :-) > Notice that things are more difficult in the Windows terminal window, > as this uses an encoding different from the one that the system's > locale functions expect. The real input will come from a GUI or a browser interface, so the Windows terminal problem isn't really an issue. -- Leif Biberg Kristensen http://solumslekt.org/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
