Sigh. Yes, I've left the generation of Python code behind a bit during recent changes. I'll get back to it soon I hope. > > XML code parsing / exporting is handled properly thanks to the > --external-encoding command line argument to generateDS, which does > .encode(external_encoding) properly, but this is not the case for > python exports. Thanks for pointing this out.

In fact, the Python style guide (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) even suggests that utf-8 is preferred, especially for Python 3.0 and beyond. But, here is a question -- Should literal strings in the generated Python code be unicode which is then encoded as utf-8 during export? Or, should those strings be encoded as utf-8 strings? My guess is the first, so that we can do our processing in Python unicode strings. What do you think? Thanks again for the nudge. Sometimes I can use a little motivation. And, thanks for the suggestions. I hope to get to them before too long. - Dave -- Dave Kuhlman http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support?
