I'm seeing weird differences between repr() and __repr__() that don't seem to appear in regular Python. For example: >>> foo='foo\b\n' >>> repr(foo) "'foo\\b\\n'" >>> foo.__repr__() 'foo\b\n' This is especially bad from Java, as the __repr__() is all you have access to. To reproduce from Java, I put code in _codecs.java, in a new escape_encode function; I'll submit this as part of my first pickle patch.

I'm seeing weird differences between repr() and
__repr__() that don't seem to appear in regular Python.

For example:

>>> foo='foo\b\n'
>>> repr(foo)
"'foo\\b\\n'"
>>> foo.__repr__()
'foo\b\n'

This is especially bad from Java, as the __repr__() is
all you have access to.  To reproduce from Java, I put
code in _codecs.java, in a new escape_encode function;
I'll submit this as part of my first pickle patch.
