This is rather puzzling. What are you describing as a "unicode semicolon"? Possibilities include: (a) U+003B SEMICOLON (which is exactly what you need) (b) U+037E GREEK QUESTION MARK (which looks like (a)) (c) U+061B ARABIC SEMICOLON (which looks like (a) rotated 180 degrees) How did you get it into your source file? What was in your # coding: ????? or similar line at the top of your source file? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
