Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: In Python 3 ascii() uses the backslashreplace error handler.
>>> class T: ... def __repr__(self): ... return '\u20ac\udcff' ... >>> print(ascii(T())) \u20ac\udcff I think using the backslashreplace error handler in repr() in Python 2.7 is good solution. Here is a patch. ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +serhiy.storchaka stage: test needed -> patch review Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file31439/unicode_repr.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5876> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
