I thought at this solution (having a dict for all chars). But I cannot use it
because later I will extend the app to cope with unicode (~ 100_000 chars). So
that I really need to filter which chars have to be converted.
That seems somewhat of a premature optimization. Dicts are very
efficient -- I don't imagine 100k+ entries will slow it down, but then
that's what should be tested so you'll know.
A useful help I guess would be to have a builtin func that returns conventional
char/string repr without "'...'" around.
Like this?
>>> print repr(''.join(chr(ii) for ii in range(20,40)))
'\x14\x15\x16\x17\x18\x19\x1a\x1b\x1c\x1d\x1e\x1f !"#$%&\''
>>>
