What has this to do with ASCII or with Python's internal representation? All you've proven is that you can convert the repr of a string back into a byte-string, by replacing "\\xa9" with "\xa9", and then shown that you can successfully render that as CP-1252 and it displays as a copyright symbol. Meanwhile when I try the same thing on my Windows box, the default encoding is cp437, so it throws. Proves nothing about ASCII, as neither of those encodings is ASCII, and A9 does not decode as ASCII. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
