[Florian] > You mean that csv.reader can't work with unicode as the delimiter parameter?
Exactly. http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.5/lib/module-csv.html says: "Note: This version of the csv module doesn't support Unicode input. Also, there are currently some issues regarding ASCII NUL characters. Accordingly, all input should generally be printable ASCII to be safe. These restrictions will be removed in the future. " That note is still there in the current development docs, so it looks like it hasn't yet been fixed. -- Richie Hindle [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
