Re: Unicode question : turn "José" into u"José"

First of all, if you run this on the console, find out your console's encoding. In my case it is English Windows XP. It uses 'cp437'. C:\>chcp Active code page: 437 Then >>> s = "José" >>> u = u"Jos\u00e9" # same thing in unicode escape >>> s.decode('cp437') == u # use encoding that

Unicode question : turn "José" into u"José"

This is probably stupid and/or misguided but supposing I'm passed a byte-string value that I want to be unicode, this is what I do. I'm sure I'm missing something very important. Short version : >>> s = "José" #Start with non-unicode string >>> unicoded = eval("u'%s'" % "José") Long version :
