There have been a lot of changes going into Python 3.2, currently in alpha testing, in the areas of encodings and how they affect the interfaces to/from the various platform operating systems Python 3 runs on. It would be very useful if you could try the same test with the most recent Python 3.2 alpha (http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.2/) and, if the problem persists there, open an issue about it. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
