It doesn't matter for the OP (see Stefan Behnel's post), but If you want to
replace characters in a unicode string the best way is probably the
translate() method:
print u"\xa9\u2122"
©™
u"\xa9\u2122".translate({0xa9: u"©", 0x2122: u"™"})
u'©™'
Yes, this is both more expressive and at the same time probably even
more efficient.
Question though:
>>> u'abc'.translate({u'a': u'A'})
u'abc'
I would call this a chance to improve Python. According to the
documentation, using a string is invalid, but it neither raises an
exception nor does it do the obvious and accept single-character strings
as keys.
Thoughts?
