How to read strings cantaining escape character from a file and use it as escape sequences?
for example, a file 'unicodes.txt' has contents: \u0050\u0079\u0074\u0068\u006f\u006e Now, >>> file = open('unicodes.txt') >>> line = file.readline() >>> line '\\u0050\\u0079\\u0074\\u0068\\u006f\\u006e\n' >>> print line \u0050\u0079\u0074\u0068\u006f\u006e But I want to get a string: "\u0050\u0079\u0074\u0068\u006f\u006e" How do you make it? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
