> What's the right way to get the strings in UTF-8?
This will work. I doubt you can get it much simpler
in 2.x; in 3.x, your code will work out of the box
(with proper syntactical adjustments).
import pprint, cStringIO
class UniPrinter(pprint.PrettyPrinter):
def format(self, obj, context, maxlevels, level):
if not isinstance(obj, unicode):
return pprint.PrettyPrinter.format(self, obj,
context,
maxlevels,
level)
out = cStringIO.StringIO()
out.write('u"')
for c in obj:
if ord(c)<32 or c in u'"\\':
out.write('\\x%.2x' % ord(c))
else:
out.write(c.encode("utf-8"))
out.write('"')
# result, readable, recursive
return out.getvalue(), True, False
UniPrinter().pprint({ u'k"e\\y': u'我爱中国人' })
