Yes, n is a list and n[0] is a unicode string and you are using some 2.x, which is ascii/byte string based. Python 3 is unicode based. If you do not *need* to use 2.x and are just learning Python, I personally recommend starting with Python 3. Others agree with me, still other do not. I would add 'especially if you want to use unicode'. Rick gave you some good advice, perhaps worth re-reading. What you need are investigative skills, and not just bits of data. -- Terry Jan Reedy
