A Python 2 string is a string of bytes, so you need to know what encoding they are in. Let's assume you got them from a source using UTF-8. Then you would do: mystring.decode('utf-8') and it will return a Unicode string of "code points" (think: more or less characters). -- Steve “Cheer up,” they said, “things could be worse.” So I cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
