You need to know what encoding is actually being used. Attempting to decode using arbitrary encodings is doomed to failure. Possibly Windows is using some kind of global default encoding, or possibly you can query the other program for its encoding, but you're unlikely to succeed by pointing the decode gun in random directions and firing. Incidentally, you may find things easier if you switch to Python 3.3 - quite a bit of Unicode handling is improved in Py3. As a separate point, can you please use something better than Google Groups for posting? There are many far better clients than GG, or you can use the mailing list instead: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list Google Groups is buggy and should not be used.
