Thanks Martin,
   That really cleared things up for me. Sorry I might have sounded a little 
shirty about python at the time, i really like python but i was spending too 
long trying to figure that unicode stuff out.

This really jelled it in for me:

> Remember decode is for input, bytes -> unicode and encode is for
> output, unicode->bytes.

Thanks for your help it all works nicely now. 

Michael.
