I was waiting for someone to call me on that ...

As was pointed out, I'm not American.  I guess the problem stems from an
American cultural assumption, though, in that Americans (I think) developed the
ASCII character set without any thought for other languages.

Will a standard xterm display chr(130) as é in linux for you, Max?  Or under Mac
OS X?

Anyway, in Python3000 all strings will be unicode, so it won't matter then :-)
