Hi, How can I transform b so that the assertion holds? I.e., how can I reverse the backslash-replaced encoding, while retaining the str-type?
>>> a = u'æ'
>>> b = a.encode('ascii', 'backslashreplace')
>>> b
'\\xe6'
>>> assert isinstance(b, str) and b == 'æ'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#59>", line 1, in <module>
assert isinstance(b, str) and b == 'æ'
AssertionError
Regards,
tores
