Display unicode in python without print

Question

I would like to display unicode characters without using print for example :

>>> print 'é'
é

The unicode is displayed perfectly but when I try to display without print it gives me unwanted results :

>>> 'é'
'\xc3\xa9'

And the expected result is 'é'

EDIT

The reason why I need this feature is, I m writing a scraper with scrapy framework, and I m crawling a website with unicode charachters, when I start crawling the log display something like this :

\u06a9\u06cc\u0644\u0648 \u0645\u062a\u0631 \u0628\u0631 \u0633\u0627\u0639\u062a\r\n\r\n

I've tried to use unicode built-in function, and I've added the header

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

But without any results

Answer 1

I'm not sure why you want to do this, but print statement converts objects given certain string conversion rules. You're seeing the value through conversion.

The expression is the raw return when you're experiencing the unicode.

Answer 2

Python3可能是您的解决方案，此版本支持UTF-8作为默认字符串编码。
