Ive uploaded an updated version of my patch to support... * Unicode strings in ZPublisher; unicode fields in forms * Unicode strings as object properties * Unicode strings that work well with dtml http://www.zope.org/Members/htrd/wstring I've been waiting to release this version for a while (waiting for zope 2.1.6, which fixed some relevent bugs), so it's reasonably stable. However I wouldn't use it for anything important before Python 1.6, when I will switch over to the built-in unicode type. I would be grateful for any feeback, Toby Dickenson tdickenson@geminidataloggers.com
