Funny idea to call this a bug in Python. What your code is asking for is to decode the object you pass in using the "latin-1" encoding. Since a list is not something that is "encoded", let alone in latin-1, you get an error, and actually a rather clear one. Note that this is not specific to Python3.3 or even 3.x. It's the same thing in Py2 when you call the equivalent unicode() function. Stefan
