I don't see this is a problem. Yes, it can happen, but no, it is not a problem. Unless I lost the thread, we are still talking about the repr() of regular strings here, right? > How about choosing a standard Python repertoire (based on the Unicode > standard, of course) of which characters get a graphic repr and which > ones get \u-escaped, and have a post-hook for repr which gets passed > the string repr proposes to print out? You mean, you only display the characters if they form a valid identifier? That would not be good, since it would disallow display of symbols.
