Re: why one char in UTF8 (3 bytes) converted to UTF16 becomes 6 bytes?

Dave it appears that you are absolutely correct. The "language" in the uniencode() function is what you have, not what you want it converted into. I added a note to the uniencode function in the dictionary to try to make that extra clear. In Python, uniencode takes unicode and encodes it into

Re: uniencode(utf8Text, "unicode") vs uniencode(utf8Text) vs uniencode(utf8Text, "UTF16")

The uniencode taking something and encoding it into unicode (rather than taking unicode and encoding it into something) explains why uniencode(utf8Text,"unicode") does not work. The second parameter is supposed to be what you have that you want converted into UTF16. Kee On Mar 29, 2011, at 5:

See, that to me flies in the face of how most functions seem to work. It's understandable that in this instance you cannot expect the function to know or tell what you have in the first place, so passing that in as an argument appears necessary. But as someone else had suggested, what is really

Re: Incredibly slow revlet in Win 7

I think if the domain being hit is a virtual, you can't get there with the ip directly because apache doesn't know what domain you're asking for. That would explain why if you hit the IP it gives the generic apache page. Same thing happens lots of places. If I ping my domain on on-rev it returns

There probably is no different IP address for the sub-domain (or domain). For instance, loki.on-rev.com is 74.54.153.70 tweedly.org is hosted on loki, and tweedly.org (and www.tweedly.org) are also 74.54.153.70 (and all my other domains on on-rev are the same as well). when you send an http
