There is not much we could have done about it IMHO. I am not a python guru, but I am a long-time programmer in multiple languages and lived through the ISO-8859 -> UTF-8 changes a couple decades ago and remember all the hoops we had to jump through to keep compatibility. Could you explain what the "bytes vs str vs unicode" issue is/was and why there is (was?) no way to perform a conversion? -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 [email protected] www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant
