> Can anyone tell me what I should be doing here? The console uses the "OEM code page". The Windows conversion routine from Unicode to the OEM code page provides the lossy conversion that you observe in listing.
Unfortunately, the OEM code page conversion is not available from Python. What you can do is to use u.encode(sys.stdout.encoding, "replace") This will replace unprintable characters with question marks. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
