> print "iiii".encode("iso-8859-9").upper().decode("iso-8859-9") > does not Please get your types right. "iiii" is a byte string (in Python 2.x). encode: unicode -> string decode: string -> unicode That you still can apply .encode to the byte string is a bug/pit fall in Python 2.x, which gets fixed in 3.x (by only supporting .encode on the unicode type).
