</div>No, no funny characters with Wing.<br>

Thanks for your guess, Dave.<br>
<br>
But here's a try using the regular command line:<br>
<br>
C:\Windows\System32>python<br>
Python 3.2.1 (default, Jul 10 2011, 20:02:51) [MSC v.1500 64 bit<br>
(AMD64)] on win32<br>
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.<br>
<div class="im">>>> from mycalc import convertPath<br>
Traceback (most recent call last):<br>

File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\mycalc.py", line 36<br>
"""<br>
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes<br>

>>><br></blockquote><div><br>That says that there is some character in that line that is not valid Unicode. Remove the line (and perhaps the ones above and below it at the same time, in case it's around the line feed character(s)) and type it in again. It's likely to be as easy as that.<br>
