that's not a good start. but maybe it's one of these: http://sites.huji.ac.il/tex/hebtex_fontsrep.html ? > how I do that f = open(myfile) text = f.readline() followed by one of text = text.decode("iso-8859-8") text = text.decode("cp1255") text = text.decode("cp862") alternatively, use: f = codecs.open(myfile, "r", encoding) to get a stream that decodes things on the fly. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
