No :-)

Yes, I noticed that, and I already tried...

I have the following simple script running on 2.5.2 on a machine where
the default character encoding is "ascii":
#!/usr/bin/env python
#coding: utf-8
import xml.dom.minidom
import codecs
str=u""
doc=xml.dom.minidom.parseString( str )
xml=doc.toxml( encoding="utf-8" )
file=codecs.open( "foo.xml"

Hm, well that's v
Hours of Googling has not helped me resolve a seemingly simple
question - Given a string s, how can I tell whether it's ascii (and
thus 1 byte per character) or UTF-8 (and two bytes per character)?
This is python 2.4.3, so I don't have getsizeof available to me.
