In real life there is a list of strings in output_list from a command like: output_list = shlex.split( input_string, bool_cmnt, bool_posi, ) input_string is from a file, bool_* are either True or False repr( output_list ) ['\xc3\xb6', '\xc3\xbc', 'i', 's', 'f'] which should be printed right aligned. using: print( u'{0:>3} {1:>3} {2:>3} {3:>3} {4:>3}'.format( *output_list ) ) ( In real life, the alignement and the width is variable ) How do I prepare output_list the pythonic way to be unicode strings? What do I do, when input_strings/output_list has other codings like iso-8859-1? TIA -- Kurt Mueller -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
