My debugging would be MUCH simpler.
I think the best (in terms of time) way to do it is to copy pprint.py to upprint.py and hack it. > > Now when I try print or pprint that variable I get a page full of > '\xe4\xeb\xa2\xa0\xe6\xe3\xaa\xe6\xe3\xaa' and so on. It looks like bytes, you should get rid of them as soon as possible. If you're not looking for speed hacks, as a rule of thumb you should convert bytes to unicode characters as soon as possible. When I try to print Russian characters I get unicode escapes (\u) not byte escapes (\x) like you: >>> print unicode([u'ÁÂ×']) [u'\u0430\u0431\u0432'] Serge. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
