>>> unicode(fp, "unicode_escape")
-
u'C:\x07b\x07nil'
-
>>> fp = "C:\\ab\\unil"
-
>>> unicode(fp, "unicode_escape")

-
Traceback (most recent call last):
-
File "<pyshell#41>", line 1, in <module>
-
unicode(fp, "unicode_escape")
-
UnicodeDecodeError: 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 5-9: end of string in escape sequence

I am not sure what is causing this error.
any help appreciated

I'm guessing it's seeing \unil as Unicode-Escape encoding.
On that page is also an explanation of how to use a string's encode-function, which might be better suited in this case.

When did Windows start accepting the forward slash as a path separator
character?
At one time, it was accepted as a truism that Windows (like MS-DOS)
was different from Unix because Windows used the backslash as the path
separator character, whereas Unix used the forward slash.

Hi,
I have an application in which I need information of the path to the exe
file. The application must run on both compact and full framework and on the
Internet I found this code snip that should work (on the CF at least):
"Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase)"
It works very fine on Compact Framework where I get:
"\Program Files\My Company"

Hello,
I'm working on an unicode-aware application. I like to use "print" to
debug programs, but in this case it was nightmare. The most popular
result of "print" was:

I spent two hours fixing it, and I hope it's done. The solution is one

My unsigned DLL works in my project that references it as long as I

Now I have signed the DLL with the sn.exe generated keys but have not

Can I use a strong named DLL outside the GAC with Copy Local = false
by providing a reference to the public key?
If yes to above, please tell me how to reference the public key within

I am relatively new to python unicode pains and I would like to have

if you can print out values of 'filemask', and 'thefile' variables, when it crashes, I can help.
thx. Edwin

Hello folks,
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.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
