Did you look at the link? It's not the easiest reading for a newbie, I admit. Python expects your source file to contain ASCII text unless you tell it otherwise. You can tell it what encoding to use with a special comment at the top of the file. Try adding # coding=utf-8 (or whatever the appropriate coding is) to the top of your source file. > So would this error have been raised too if this was an input from a > GUI-text-object? No, this is a syntax error in your source file. Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
