AFAICT, it works in both: if I start Python 2.4 (command line) from the start menu, and have it import a module that prints # -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*- print u"Martin v. Löwis" it will print the umlaut, and the same happends if I start cmd.exe, run python, and then run the code that makes that print statement. In either case, the font selected was "Raster Fonts", and in cmd.exe, the Active code page was 850. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
