Well, internally you could use U+2028 LINE SEPARATOR, which would screw up *everybody* if they don't use the converter, since there are probably very few editors that understand U+2028. I've heard that this is what Samba did when converting to Unicode: intead of using UTF-8 they used UTF-16 so that English would be at least as buggy as any other language. Maybe there's somebody who was participating in Samba at that time who knows? _______________________________________________ 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
