Thanks. Like you say, the obvious place I didn't think of... :-) (I'd have experimented, but this PC doesn't have Python 3 installed at the moment :-() The "buffer" attribute doesn't seem to be documented in the docs for the io module. I'm guessing that the TextIOBase class should have a note that you get at the buffer through the "buffer" attribute? Paul. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
