Re: problem: non-ascii data and xmlrpmlib.py

Hi,

I have added that to the docs Plone:
 
http://docs.opengroupware.org/Members/helge/Python%20XML-RPC/document_view

I would like to invite anybody to submit such information to our docs 
Plone for easy discovery! Its a great way to store, find and categorize 
information. And very easy to use.

Indeed I would love to find some people which grep the mail list 
archives now and then and add some relevant answers to the docs Plone.

regards,
   Helge
