To answer myself here, I guess one advantage is that the scripts can then specify what happens if the encode fails (replace or raise an exception). But maybe the binding could deal with it in a sensible way when you pass an Unicode string directly (i.e. .encode to current locale and replace). -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
