Unicode Problem

2008-10-30 Thread Seid Mohammed 
I am new to python.
I want to print Amharic character using the Python IDLE.
here goes somple code
==
>>> abebe = 'አበበ በሶ በላ'
>>> abebe
'\xe1\x8a\xa0\xe1\x89\xa0\xe1\x89\xa0 \xe1\x89\xa0\xe1\x88\xb6
\xe1\x89\xa0\xe1\x88\x8b'
>>> print abebe
አበበ በሶ በላ
>>> abeba = ['አበበ','በሶ','በላ']
>>> abeba
['\xe1\x8a\xa0\xe1\x89\xa0\xe1\x89\xa0', '\xe1\x89\xa0\xe1\x88\xb6',
'\xe1\x89\xa0\xe1\x88\x8b']
>>> print abeba
['\xe1\x8a\xa0\xe1\x89\xa0\xe1\x89\xa0', '\xe1\x89\xa0\xe1\x88\xb6',
'\xe1\x89\xa0\xe1\x88\x8b']
>>> len(abebe)
23

so my question is
1)why >>> abebe prints  '\xe1\x8a\xa0\xe1\x89\xa0\xe1\x89\xa0
\xe1\x89\xa0\xe1\x88\xb6 \xe1\x89\xa0\xe1\x88\x8b' instead of አበበ በሶ
በላ
2) why >>> print abeba don't print the expected አበበ በሶ በላ string
thanks a lot.

ok
but still i am not clear with my problem.
if i test this one
==
 kk ='how old are you'
>>> len(kk)
15
==
but in my case
==
>>> abebe = 'አበበ በሶ በላ'
>>> len(abebe)
 23
==
why the lenght is 23 while I am expecting to be 9 only. becuase I have
9 characters(including space) just typed.
there must be a kind of trick over it.
thanks all
