I have finally decided to convert _everything_ to unicode in my code and set all modules to return unicode too (in MySQLdb module, this can be set when doing connection via 'use_unicode' argument). thnx. > >this of course may not suit your needs. there's a hidden _String type in >rpclib.model.primitive in my personal fork. does it work for you? you >can set its encoding to whatever you want using >_String(encoding='whatever'). > >I can't decide whether it should be left as String or moved to binary >module and renamed to Bytes. > >does that help? > >burak > > _______________________________________________ Soap mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/soap
