Hi, >>> n [u'174'] >>>
Probably newbie question but not sure how suppress the brackets and the 'u' ? I assume pyhon is telling me it's a unicode string in the n variable. I'm using using Idle on winXP, activestate 2.7. Is there a way to suppress this and just show 174 in the shell ? A script reading data and assigns 174 to n via some regex. Links on this appreciated - I've tried to understand unicode before, will keep trying...thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
