The solution of r'[' + '\u3000' + r']...' was pretty good. Real reason I posted: Maybe the re module should handle \u escapes, in addition to the other backslash escapes it processes? This would be backwards incompatible, though, so maybe it's too late. -- Devin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
