And this is the crucial point. latin-1 is an obsolete and non usable coding scheme (esp. for european languages). We fall on the point I mentionned above. Microsoft know this, ditto for Apple, ditto for "TeX", ditto for the foundries. Even, "ISO" has recognized its error and produced iso-8859-15. The question? Why is it still used? jmf -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
