Ok there are different usage cases. So in short without going into detail, for example if I need to type in a unicode string literal in ASCII editor I would find such notation replacement beneficial for me: u'\u0430\u0431\u0432.txt' --> u"{1072}{1073}{1074}.txt" Printing could be the same I suppose. I use Python 2.7. And printing so with numbers instead of non-ASCII would help me see where I have non-ASCII chars. But I think the print behavior must be easily configurable. Any critics on it? Besides not following the unicode consortium. Also I would not even mind fixed width 7-digit decimals actually. Ugly but still for me better than hex.
