In real life there is a list of strings in output_list from a command like:
output_list = shlex.split( input_string, bool_cmnt, bool_posi, )
input_string is from a file, bool_* are either True or False
repr( output_list )
['\xc3\xb6', '\xc3\xbc', 'i', 's', 'f']
which should be printed right aligned.
using:
print( u'{0:>3} {1:>3} {2:>3} {3:>3} {4:>3}'.format( *output_list ) )
( In real life, the alignement and the width is variable )

How do I prepare output_list the pythonic way to be unicode strings?
What do I do, when input_strings/output_list has other codings like iso-8859-1?

TIA
