I'm just really not seeing how something like x63 and/or x61 gets converted by 'print' to the corresponding chars in the following output...
[cdal...@localhost oakland]$ python Python 2.4.3 (#1, Oct 1 2006, 18:00:19) [GCC 4.1.1 20060928 (Red Hat 4.1.1-28)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> print '\x63had' chad >>> print '\x63h\x61d' chad >>> print "\x63had" chad >>> print "\x63h\x61d" chad >>> Does print just do this magically? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
