If you save in utf-8 the coding declaration also has to be utf-8. Besides, many of these characters won't be representable in latin-1. The reason it worked is that these characters were translated into two- or more-bytes sequences and replace did work with these. But it's dangerous, as they are then no longer the unicode characters they were intended to be. -- Piet van Oostrum <p...@vanoostrum.org> WWW: http://pietvanoostrum.com/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
