Hi Peter, > Just a quick reminder: UTF-8 is not the same as unicode. Python3 works in > unicode and by default uses UTF-8 to read from or write into files.
I'm not the OP, but wanted to make sure I was fully understanding your point. Are you saying all open() calls in Python that read text files, automatically convert UTF-8 content to Unicode in the same manner as the following might when using Python 2.6? codecs.open( fileName, mode='r', encoding='UTF8', ... ) Thanks for your feedback, Malcolm -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
