Print python dictionary with utf8 values
I have a dictionary with utf8 string values. I need to print it without the characters \ xd1 , \ u0441 or u .
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
a = u'lang='
# prints: lang=
print(a)
mydict = {}
mydict['string'] = a
mydict2 = repr(mydict).decode("unicode-escape")
# prints: {'string': u'lang='}
print mydict2
expected
{'string': 'lang='}
Is this possible without parsing a dictionary? This question is related to Python printing unicode strings in arrays as characters, not code points , but I need to get rid of this annoying u

I don't see a reasonable use case for this, but if you want to create a custom dictionary view (or better to say a custom unicode object view in the dictionary), you can do it yourself:
def repr_dict(d):
return '{%s}' % ',\n'.join("'%s': '%s'" % pair for pair in d.iteritems())
and then
print repr_dict({u'string': u'lang='})
