when printing these 'escaped-number-texts' within Linux/Spyder3 ide console, i get funny symbols like a "phone-symbol", triangles or symbols for male or female.
>>> print("\7") # gives a phone >>> print("\5") >>> print("\1") >>> print("\21") >>> print("\30") >>> print("\31") >>> print("\32") def phonesymbol(): print("\7") phonesymbol() # prints a phone symbol my question is, is this a bug or a feature of Spyder3? if it is a feature, where can I find the complete table of symbols? within bash - starting python3 - i get some ugly "unicode?" symbols, which look like a square containig tiny alphanumeric numbers. best regards andy -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
