Make sure your stdout (in case you use print) has utf-8 encoding. This might be problematic on Windows, however. >>> print '\xef\xbb\xbf\xe0\xa6\x85\xe0\xa6\xa8\xe0\xa7\x87\xe0\xa6\x95' অনেক Or if you write to a file, open it with utf-8 encoding. I take utf-8 because in general this is the preferred encoding for non-ASCII text. It could be that Bengali has a different preferred encoding. -- Piet van Oostrum <p...@cs.uu.nl> URL: http://pietvanoostrum.com [PGP 8DAE142BE17999C4] Private email: p...@vanoostrum.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
