I really don't understand the following behavior:
>>> class C(object):
... def __init__(self, s): self.s = s
... def __str__(self): return self.s
...
>>> cafe = unicode("Caf\xe9", "Latin-1")
>>> c = C(cafe)
>>> print "Print using c.s:", c.s
Print using c.s: Café
>>> print "Print using just c:", c
Print using just c: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in
position 3: ordinal not in range(128)
>>> str(c)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in
position 3: ordinal not in range(128)
Why would "print c.s" work but the other two cases throw an exception?
Any help understanding this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Gerard
