Thanks, it solved the problem... for a while! I need now to know if s[i] gives the next byte or the next character, when I scan the string s. I've googled pages about python and unicode, but didn't find a solution to that. I scan the string read from the file char by char to construct s, but now get the same error when just trying 'print s'. Is there a way to tell python that all strings and characters are to be treated as UTF-8? I have LC_ALL=en_GB.utf-8 in my shell, but python does'nt seem to use this variable?
