Though BTW FWIW the visual sequence of glyphs representing the data was more a 
str output
than repr, I guess:

 >>> repr("C\x01\x02\x10'\x83")
 '"C\\x01\\x02\\x10\'\\x83"'
 >>> str("C\x01\x02\x10'\x83")
 "C\x01\x02\x10'\x83"

Actually, both of those have an additional repr() call courtesy of the Python interactive console. The output of str() on that string is unprintable, but the above representation has already been repr()ed by Python for consumption by fragile hyoo-mans...
