You have to encode those unicode objects anyway - but you don't have to assume any encoding. Your .bat file will be executed by CMD.EXE, and the shell expects a string - doesn't understand unicode objects. Like when you type that same commands on the console. Use sys.getfilesystemencoding() to obtain the required encoding (likely "mbcs"): fse = sys.getfilesystemencoding() cmd = [arg.encode(fse) if isinstance(arg,unicode) else arg for arg in cmd] -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
