Whoa! Careful with those assumptions. This is very culture and platforms dependent. For Americans it's ASCII (only half joking :-). For most of the world it's likely UTF-8. In Asia, it's anything *but* Latin-1. On my Mac laptop, the file system and the Terminal program default to UTF-8. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
