Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: On my puzzlement above: repr(s) is a string of 3 characters -- s bracketed by quote characters. print(repr(s)) fails. I am not sure how s gets expanded to the full escape in IDLE. ascii(s) expands all non-ascii and adds extra quotes. Need to check Shell code.
In the python REPL, astral chars are not expanded to escape sequences. >>> s='\U0001f603' >>> s '😃' # Windows REPL shows two replacement boxes instead of 😃 #36698 is about astral chars in exceptions messages. >>> raise Exception(s) results in the Exception traceback, 3 Unicodedecode tracebacks, and a restart. ---------- versions: +Python 3.8 -Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue22742> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
