I have several ascii files that contain '\ooo' strings which represent
the octal value for a character. I want to convert these files to
unicode, and I came up with the following script. But it seems to me
that there must be a much simpler way to do it. Could someone more
experienced suggest some improvements?
I want to convert a file eg. containing:
hello \326du
with the unicode file containing:
hello du

#!/usr/bin/python
import re, string, sys
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
file = open(sys.argv[1],'r')
lines = file.readlines( )
file.close()
else:
print "give a filename"
sys.exit()
def to_unichr(str):
oct = string.atoi(str .group(1),8)
return unichr(oct)
for line in lines:
line = string.rstrip(u nicode(line,'La tin-1'))
if re.compile(r'\\ \d\d\d').search (line):
line = re.sub(r'\\(\d\ d\d)', to_unichr, line)
line = line.encode('ut f-8')
print line

Hi,
I've been putting Python data into a sqlite3 database as tuples but
when I retrieve them they come back as unicode data e.g
'u(1,2,3,4)'.How can I change it back to a tuple so I can use it as a
Python native datatype?
I have looked in the docs and seen there is a decode/encode method but
how do I do this?
Hope you can help.

Hi,
I am writing unicode stings into a special text file that requires to
have non-ascii characters as as octal-escaped UTF-8 codes.
For example, the letter "Í" (latin capital I with acute, code point 205)
would come out as "\303\215".
I will also have to read back from the file later on and convert the
escaped characters back into a unicode string.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
