Using 8N1 when it's really 7M1 means you have the high bit set on every byte. I don't know if there's an easy way to do this fast in Python, but what you need to do is mask them all off... I'm not sure if there's a better way, but this ought to work: string = "".join(chr(ord(x)&0x7f) for x in string) In Python 3, iterating over a 'bytes' string produces integers, so omit the ord() call. Other than that, code is not tested. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
