hmm...? never got any non-questionable results: PythonWin 2.4.2 (#67, Sep 28 2005, 12:41:11) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32. Portions Copyright 1994-2004 Mark Hammond ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - see 'Help/About PythonWin' for further copyright information. >>> import win32ui,glob >>> s=glob.glob(u'/devel/test/*')[-2] >>> s u'/devel/test\\\u041f\u043e\u0448\u0443\u043a.txt' >>> win32ui.MessageBox(s) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ? UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 12-16: ordinal not in range(128) >>> print s /devel/test\?????.txt >>> [on a WinXP Home - German; same with py2.3, win98, ... ] The Windows Explorer displays correct cyrillic letters for this file name. win32ui.MessageBox(s) seems to try ascii codec by default. But mbcs/latin-1 (?) encoded 8bit strings like 'aousäöüß' ( =='aous\\xe4\\xf6\\xfc\\xdf' ) work (on this machine). Robert -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
