this works too :) >>> s = '\x001' >>> s[0] == chr(0) True >>> s = '\x00abc' >>> s[0] == chr(0) True i think it would be more clear not to use 3 digits for this example since \x only uses the next two numbers, not 3. >>> s = '\x00' >>> s[0] == chr(0) True bryan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
