since you're getting a UnicodeEncodeError, the "note" object is probably a Unicode string, not a "binary code". to write Unicode strings to a file, you need to decide what encoding to use, and encode the string on the way out. e.g. nodeFileObj.write(note.encode("utf-8")) to write it as a UTF-8 string. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
