I have a string variable containing some non-ascii characters (from a characterset which was previously called 'ansi' instead of 'oem' on windows).
short answer: "iso-8859-1" should work ::: longer answer: windows "ansi" is an alias for the encoding you get from import locale language, encoding = locale.getdefaultlocale() for people in western europe/north america, that's usually "cp1252", which is a microsoft version of latin-1: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/unicode/1252.htm (characters 0x80-0x9f isn't part of iso-8859-1, aka latin-1) cheers /F
