IronPython will inherit whatever behavior Mono has implemented. The Microsoft CLR defines the native string type as UTF-16 and all of the managed APIs for things like file names and environmental variables operate on UTF-16 strings -- there simply are no byte string APIs. I assume that Mono does the same but I don't have any Mono experience. -- Curt Hagenlocher c...@hagenlocher.org _______________________________________________ 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
