New submission from Sworddragon:
I have made some tests with encoding/decoding in conjunction with
unicode-escape and got some strange results:
>>> print('ä')
ä
>>> print('ä'.encode('utf-8'))
b'\xc3\xa4'
>>> print('ä'.encode('utf-8').decode('unicode-escape'))
ä
>>> print('ä'.encode('utf-8').decode('unicode-escape').encode('unicode-escape'))
b'\\xc3\\xa4'
>>> print('ä'.encode('utf-8').decode('unicode-escape').encode('unicode-escape').decode('utf-8'))
\xc3\xa4
Shouldn't .decode('unicode-escape').encode('unicode-escape') nullify itself and
so "'ä'.encode('utf-8').decode('unicode-escape').encode('unicode-escape')"
return the same result as 'ä'.encode('utf-8')?
