Hello ChrisA, Thanks for your suggestion. My script works fine when I run the command 'export LC_ALL=en_AU.utf8' before starting python.
I am from India and using US English and international keyboard. I also tried using the command 'export LC_ALL=en_USA.utf8' and the python script works fine. How can I avoid running this command everytime when I want to start Python? Can I add the following two lines to .bash_profile? export LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 export LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 Look forward to your response. Thanking you in advance, Madhavan -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
