Eric V. Smith added the comment: This isn't strictly related to printing a tuple. It's the difference between str() and repr():
>>> print (u"äöü") # uses str äöü >>> print repr(u"äöü") u'\xe4\xf6\xfc' When the tuple is printed, it uses the repr of its constituent parts. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19210> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
