>>> a = '\377' >>> print '%r' % a '\xff' >>> a = r'\377' >>> print "'%s'" % a '\377' I still recommend looking up %s and %r and str() and repr() in the documentation. it's not hard to understand what they do, and that approach works a bit better than cargo cult programming. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
