That affects what encoding the text file comprising the source code itself is in. > b) Using this line '# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-' Isn't this line supposed > to tell browser that the contents of this python script as in UTF-8 > and to handle it as such? This tells Python what encoding the text file comprising the source code itself is in. > c) print ''' Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 /n''' This tells the web browser what encoding the HTML you're sending it is in. Said HTML is output by your Python script and must match the encoding you specify in (c). Unless you have Unicode string literals in the source code itself, (a) and (b) don't matter much. (c) is quite crucial. Cheers, Chris -- http://blog.rebertia.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
