Oops :) Yeah, that was pretty lousy way to show what encoding I was using for that test: >>> import locale >>> locale.getpreferredencoding() 'cp1252' >>> (Somewhat related, it would be nice if Python actually normalized defaultencoding/preferredencoding to some canonical name for the codec in use, i.e. preferred MIME name or at least IANA; we had a rather nice little bug recently that wouldn't have happened if that had been the case...)
