I'm really thinking there's something wrong with Python, but thought it
might be politic to first check whether there wasn't something wrong
with me. :-)
If you're evaling it, it is expecting a string that contains a python
expression. If you want that to be parsed as a string, you'll need to
have actual quotes in the string:
>>> eval("\"\\x41\"")
'A'
Calling eval("x+y") isn't going to be any different than x+y. It
isn't going to evaluate the contents of the strings. Perhaps you
wanted something like:
eval("\"" + x + y + "\"")
