Hi, Thanks for the response. I get US-ASCII for both 2.6 and 3.1: ===python 3.1====== import sys print(sys.stdout.encoding) $ python3.1 1test.py US-ASCII I can't figure out a way to programatically set the encoding for sys.stdout. So where does that leave me? python 3.1 won't let me explicitly encode my unicode string, and python 3.1 implicitly does the encoding with the wrong codec. And why would any programmer rely on python 3.1's implicit encoding of unicode strings anyway? Presumably, different systems will have different encodings for sys.stdout, some encodings might cause encode errors. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
