the assertions about list members to cover that angle, and just checked
encoding on the 'user supplied' parameters to various function calls).
I finally got the time to look at your character encoding problem and
patch, and I was not able to make it work. I still getting the dreaded
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in
position 1: ordinal not in range(128)

Seems my "lucky guess" was not so lucky ;-)

I'm pretty sure I said I though it would work but hadn't actually tested it, anyways. I don't currently have a 'live' mailman+mysql instance anywhere to test with, for a start. I've got a dedicated development server set up but not migrated anything like that to it yet.

Also I'm afraid that I'm quite engrossed in writing a plugin for Pidgin and playing with Asterisk VoIP at the moment, and hadn't really settled on a time to look at MM again for a while. My first priority would be to resolve the horrible performance problem without losing the name info as per a previous email, and then I might look at this, when I get started back on it again.

The gist of the problem seems to be that you need to treat the strings as utf-8 or iso-8859-1 encoded 'objects' rather than standard ASCII string types within the code, and I don't know for sure how to do that. I'd have to research it as much as you would, unless anyone on-list has a suggestion about it, or can send me a copy of the Python book that I can reference for this.
