Thanks for the correction.
There's an awful lot of stuff in the python standard library! :-)
I too found that you can do "\\" and "\0" here - you just have to double the number of backslashes you want to be visible. Apparently this "null in a string" issue is something that python web programmers have to think about - http://lucumr.pocoo....as-web-developer/ Thanks. Cheers, Scott. |

It's not an OS issue, it a python method issue.

This is, of course, actually a Windows bug.
