Actually no, it doesn't. Python 2.7.4 (default, Apr 6 2013, 19:54:46) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 >>> s = "abcd\xa9" >>> print(s) abcd© The copyright symbol is not in ASCII. Are you suggesting that Python uses a 7-bit internal representation of this data? Because a quick squiz at the source code will prove that wrong. This is not ASCII.
