It is UTF-8, but you must be careful: the filenames are in normalized (or whatever they call it) UTF-8, meaning that accented letters are split up into the letter followed by the accent. The filename API does accept the composed accented letters, but normalizes them, and that is what the listdir calls return. >>> fn = u'\u00E1' >>> f = open(fn,'w') >>> f.close() We now have a file with name 'รก' >>> import os >>> os.listdir (u'.') [u'a\u0301'] The accent follows the 'a'. -- Piet van Oostrum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> URL: http://www.cs.uu.nl/~piet [PGP 8DAE142BE17999C4] Private email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
