Python 3.0's bytes type is almost the same type as Python 2.x's str type. During the development of Python 3.0 the old str type was modified and renamed to bytes. The old unicode type is now known as str. 2.x -> 3.0 ----------------- str -> bytes unicode -> str "" -> b"" u"" -> "" HTH Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
