Python print unicode list


With the following code

lst = [u'\u5de5', u'\u5de5']
msg = repr(lst).decode('unicode-escape')
print msg

I got

[u'工', u'工']

How can I remove the leading u so that the content of msg is:

['工', '工']

Solution

  • >>> import sys
    >>> lst = [u'\u5de5', u'\u5de5']
    >>> msg = repr([x.encode(sys.stdout.encoding) for x in lst]).decode('string-escape')
    >>> print msg
    ['工', '工']
