But merely calling str() on the items instead of repr() isn't good enough here: we don't want str(['1, 2']) to return '[1, 2]'. We'd need a third form (eek!) that would preserve the string quotes but be more lenient about non-ASCII. Personally, I think some custom loop to print the values is good enough. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
