There is, but I don't know how easy it'll be. In Python 3, the repr of a tuple will show Unicode strings as Unicode. :) For what you're showing there, I'm not actually quite sure what's going on. Is the string a Unicode string, or a byte string? If it's a byte string (which I suspect, since it's coming up as \xfe and the character you're showing us isn't U+00FE), then you have to worry about encodings. If you're using it to store non-ASCII data, you probably want to be using a Unicode string: a = u"yaşar" The best solution is definitely to move to Python 3, though - if you can. Do you have much code to migrate, or are you starting fresh? Are there any libraries/modules that you need that don't support Py3? ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
