ANSI is not an encoding; it is a collective name for various multibyte encodings, each corresponding to a particular default language of the machine. Thus ANSI corresponds to cp1252 on English and cp932 on Japanese machines. As for whether cp932 is the same as Shift JIS, David and I seem to disagree. While I lack hard data, the string '\\' round trips through either on my box. -- Michael Urman http://www.tortall.net/mu/blog _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
