No, it is not. Your own system is "not ready for UTF-8", as you stated somewhere in this blog entry. How can you expect everybody else's system being utf-8, while "you are not ready for transition"? It would be better if you write your programs in encoding-agnostic way, using byte streams only for input and output (yes, printing a debug statement on terminal *is* a kind of producing the output). An, oh, you cann't encode/decode text not knowing the encoding... -- Jarek Zgoda http://jpa.berlios.de/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
