Since Python 2.6, you can also put from __future__ import unicode_literals at the top of the file to make all string literals Unicode objects. Since Python 3.0, this is the default (i.e. all string literals *are* unicode objects). Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
