Have you read the marshal reference? http://docs.python.org/lib/module-marshal.html marshal doesn't store data as escaped strings, it stores them as binary strings. When you print the binary string to the console, unprintable characters are shown escaped. I'm guessing you probably want to use pickle instead of marshal. marshal is intended only for dealing with .pyc files, and has some important limitations. pickle is intended to be a general purpose serializer. -- Steve. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
