Unfortunately, it turns out that the trick also breaks display of
strings containing any other escape codes. For example:
>>> '\n'
'
'
>>> '\t'
' '
The unicode_escape codec is interpreting all of the escape sequences
recognised in Python strings, not just the \u sequences we're interested in.
I can't see an easy way around this at the moment, but I'm still
reasonably convinced that the issue of Unicode escapes for non-ASCII
users is best attacked as a display problem rather than an internal
representation problem.
Cheers,
Nick.
