Thanks for reply :) And it seems to work... When i type in /opt/bin/python import sys sys.maxunicode then i get the desired answer - 65535 But it seems the work only begins now, because i cant use other python libraries now with this version of python and i probably have to install them all again somehow... But thanks for your help :) Alan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
