Hi Roger, Thanks, I understand it now, I didn't yet receive in the mail any replies to my post on py-dev when I read your post here! That's why it didn't make any sense to me. I didn't yet have a chance to try the workaround given in the bug-report (remove MBCS encoding line). Hope to find time s

In the reply to your post about the crash, there was a link to the bug report on Sourceforge that includes a workaround. Specifically, remove the mbcs encoding tag from the generated file. (or fromg genpy.py itself so that it never gets put into a new file) Does this do anything for the unwarrante

Sorry, but I don't know what you mean with 'workaround for the crash'... The interpreter no longer crashes when trying to compile this file. In Python2.4.0 I never saw any syntax error, there was just crash. Now there is a syntax error, and I when I look at the code I don't spot it. regards, --Ti
