[Tutor] Creating a unicode string from bytes and % opperator
Dear Users,
I'm trying to create a unicode character from two bytes. Unfortunatly
I'm getting a UnicodeDecodeError. Can some one please suggest an
alternative way of doing what's bellow? In the example bellow the two
bytes have been converted into a string hex value, but they could just
as easily be an integer or binary value if either is easier to deal
with.
Python 2.4.3 - Enthought Edition 1.0.0 (#69, Aug 2 2006, 12:09:59) [MSC v.1310
32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information.
a = u\u%s%s %('0d', 'fe')
UnicodeDecodeError: 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-2: tr
uncated \u escape
Cheers,
Wesley Brooks.

Nice try :)
Unfortunately, if you think about what's happening here, the
string interpreter bit of Python is getting to that
unicode-escape before the %-processing bit of Python.
So Python's trying --and failing-- to interpret \u%s%s as some sort of
bizarre unicode escape.
Can you not just use the unichr function?

Thanks Tim Golden,
That'll do the trick! Thought there must have been something simple for it!

To be perverse, you *could* have done it like this: eval (u'\u + %s%s' % (0d, fe)) But please don't :) TJG ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
