In the mean while somewhat accidently (read some stuff) I followed a similar
approach.

I also expect it's my error ;-( ;-)
The following snippet of my present code isn't giving me any problems. Although
I'm not really sure why it works. Also I had some problems encoding to 'cp1252'
and not to 'utf-8'.
Anyone as a pointer to a nice resource that can help me understand this decode
/ encode biz better?
try:
# TODO: Check the str.translate() method
r = recordSet.Fields(fieldsDict[f]).Value.strip()
r.decode('cp850')
r = r.replace(u'\x8f', u'')
r = r.replace(u'\u20ac', u'\xc7')
r = r.replace(u'\xa6', u'\xaa')
r = r.replace(u'\u2122', u'\xd5')
r = r.replace(u'\u017d', u'\xc3')
r = r.replace(u'\xa7', u'\xba')
# The following line does not work if with 'cp1252' !?
rec.append(r.encode('utf-8')) # kinterbasdb makes
conversions by itself ;-)
except UnicodeDecodeError, UnicodeEncodeError:
print f
return None
Txs,
Miguel
