As far as I'm concerned it is, yes. Until this thread highlighted it I hadn't really considered this issue. It's a bit ugly that C extensions won't handle the full range of strings that pure python code will, but it's a typically pragmatic Python solution, so I'm not about to start a war about it. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +44 150 684 7255 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
