Hi,

while this:

a =3D "ya=FEar"
print a

prints "ya=FEar"

this:

a =3D ("ya=FEar",)
print a

prints ('ya\xfear',)

At first I tried decoding repr(a) with different encodings, but later
I realised there is actually 4 charaters \, x, f and e in return value
of repr.

Therefore, I wrote this:

def byte_replacement(bstring):
    return chr(int(bstring[2:],16))

def prettyprint(obj):
    text =3D repr(obj)
    while True:
        try:
            start =3D text.index("\\x")
            text =3D text[:start] +
byte_replacement(text[start:start+4]) + text[start+4:]
        except ValueError:
            break
    print text

Is there a better way to handle this problem?
