Sessions and Unicode

Hi

Hope somone can help me.
Using Python 2.5 and PyWin32-210 PythonScript .asp page on
IIS and
Windows XP I'm puzzled....

A Scripting.Dictionary is created and assigned to as Session
variable
in vb script.  This dictionary is populated by reading a
file.

In the PythonScript this Session object is read an
displayed.

The foreign characters are all messed up and that's the
problem of course.

Now - the text items in the Session Object are reported to
be of type
Unicode (by the python type(x) function).  The problem seems
to be
that the text Python is trying to interprete as Unicode is
NOT Unicode
at all.

The original file is of type UTF-8 (I tried Windows-1252
too) and the
code doesn't even read the file if I convert it to Unicode -
returning
an empty Dictionary.

The same code seem to work fine on a Windows 2003 for some
reason....

Anyone know what's going on and what to do?

Best regards,
Bjarni Ragnarsson
