You are confusing the issue. It does not depend on the source code's encoding (supposing that the encoding declaration in the source is correct). repr returns unicode(self).encode("utf-8"), so it is utf-8 encoded even when the source code had a different encoding. The u"©au" string is not dependent on the source encoding. -- Piet van Oostrum <p...@cs.uu.nl> URL: http://pietvanoostrum.com [PGP 8DAE142BE17999C4] Private email: p...@vanoostrum.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
