In an Asian script, almost every character is likely to be non-ascii, which is going to be pretty hard to read as a string of unicode escapes. Maybe what we want is a new kind of string literal in which *everything* is a unicode escape. A sufficiently smart editor could then display it using the appropriate characters, yet it could still be dealt with as ascii- only in a pinch. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
