FWIW: In Germany you run into those filename encoding problems all the time, esp. when using Windows shares on Unix. It is not uncommon at all to have all user files reside in a user folder with accented characters or Umlauts. And the story goes on: if you then have set Unix to a different locale (and encoding), it is possible to have Unix create file names on the Windows share that don't look right when viewed on other Windows machines. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Oct 02 2008) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ :::: Try mxODBC.Zope.DA for Windows,Linux,Solaris,MacOSX for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
