Mark Dickinson added the comment: Indeed: the \u010d is being interpreted by your *C compiler* as a multibyte character, and the individual bytes of that multibyte character end up in the string that you actually pass to Python. I suspect that the actual bytes you get depend on your locale. Here I get (signed) bytes -60 and -115. (See e.g. "translation phase 7" in C99 6.4.5.)
As Victor says, you need to escape the backslash in the C code. ---------- nosy: +mark.dickinson resolution: -> invalid status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21051> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
