Is that with or without an RTL marker?
I don't think this has anything to do with Python. Python is simply spitting out unicode characters as it sees them, starting at string position 0 and working to the end. The magic is done by whatever is displaying the utf-8 output from Python. If I copy this text to the clipboard, t = "hi there, الحركات!" and paste it in my terminal (say to Python's shell), which is not BIDI aware, I get the Arabic letters in reverse order. I tried to paste it here but no matter what I do thunderbird goes into BIDI mode and makes them appear right. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
