how to convert string like '\u5927' to unicode string u'\u5927'

[Chris Song]

Here's my solution

_unicodeRe = re.compile("(\\\u[\da-f]{4})")
def unisub(mo):
return unichr(int(mo.group(1)[2:],16))

unicodeStrFromNetwork = '\u5927'
unicodeStrNative = _unicodeRe(unisub, unicodeStrFromNetwork)

But I think there must be a more straightforward way to do it.

How about unicodeStrNative = eval("u'%s'" % (unicodeStrFromNetwork,))

How about unicodeStrNative = eval("u'%s'" % (unicodeStrFromNetwork,))

unicodeStrFromNetwork = "' + str(__import__('os').system('really bad idea')) + '"

</F>

unicodeStrFromNetwork = "' + str(__import__('os').system('really bad idea')) + '"

Thanks for the warning. I should really know better! *blush*
