If I have a string like so: a = '\\u03B1'
and I want to make it display a Greek alpha character, is there a way to convert it to unicode ('\u03B1')? I tried concatenating it like this: '\u' + '03B1' but that didn't work. I'm working in Python 3.0 and was curious if this could be done. Thanks. Jay -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
