Hello!

Russian is my mather's tongue. I've experienced a lot of problems with
cyrillic using python 1.6 on Windows 2000 Professional. The main issue is a
range check error while built-in function <str> tries to fit my russian
strings into 7-bit ASCII. Maybe I should take care of some conversions? But
it would be annoying to convert the strings back and forth.
