Not really, open() is (by far!) not the only function that breaks. Most posixmodule functions, by the looks of it, as well as a few in _tkinter and socket. And that's just a quick grep for PyArg_Parse* with '"et' as an argument. Perhaps if __open__ was generalized into __equivalent_string__... but we've been there already. ;) -- Thomas Wouters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi!
