Jason, your Python output and the C output are not the same. Also, it looks like your email client is adding formatting codes to the email, or something. Please look at your post here:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2018-January/730384.html Do you notice the extra asterisks added? I think they are added by your email program. Please do not use any formatting, they make the output confusing and make it difficult to understand what you are doing. In Python, the output of print(repr(message)) looks like this: does not exist\r\n\tat com. (removing the asterisks at the start and end, which I believe are formatting added by to your email). That is, spelling it out character by character: DE OH EE ES space EN OH TE space EE EX I ES TE backslash AR backslash EN backslash TE AY TE space CE OH EM dot That is what I expected. So if you print(message) without the repr, you should get exactly this: does not exist at com. Here is the input and output of my Python session: py> s = 'does not exist\r\n\tat com.' py> print(s) does not exist at com. That looks like exactly what you are expecting. If you are getting something different, please COPY AND PASTE as PLAIN TEXT (no formatting, no bold, no italics) the exact output from your Python session. And tell us what IDE you are using, or which interpreter. Are you using IDLE or PyCharm or Spyder or something else? I repeat: do not add bold, or italics, do not use formatting of any kind. If you don't know how to turn the formatting off in your email program, you will need to find out. You also print the individual characters of message from C: for ch in message: printf("%d %c",ch, chr(ch)) and that outputs something completely different: the messages are not the same in your C code and your Python code. Your Python code message is: does not exist\r\n\tat com. but your C code message appears to be: not exist\r\n\tat com (missing word "does" and final dot). I do not understand why you are showing us C code. This is a Python forum, and you are having trouble printing from Python -- C is irrelevant. I think you should just call print(message). If that doesn't do what you want, you need to show us what it actually does. -- Steve -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
