Atleast I hope that I understood this correctly. By that method my inital posted code worked well. I still have the problem that the same code works on some machines and others not when I am unsing IPython. IPython apparently uses its own encoding or the encoding of the underlying platform. How can I avoid this problem? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
