In answer to Time Roberts, I saw an item prefixed with 'u' (u'\x1a'). What is the purpose of this prefix? I would have thought it meant 'Unicode' but the type according to Python is 'str'.
In Py2: a = u'x' type(a) <type 'unicode'>
In Py3.4: a = u'x' type(a) <class 'str'> Note that u'' is not available in Py 3.0 - 3.2.
