How do I print unicode in variables?

[Mastiff]

I know the correct way of printing unicode strings:

Code: Select all

print(u'├ª├©├Ñ')

But how do I print unicode variables? So:

Code: Select all

testvariable='├©├ª├Ñ'
print(testvariable)

This gives me:

Code: Select all

12:02:20      ├â┬©├â┬ª├â┬Ñ

So how do I use the unicode marker with variables?

[Pako]

Properly it should be as follows:

Code: Select all

testvariable = u'├©├ª├Ñ'
print testvariable

If the variable is not a unicode string, then it could be like this:

Code: Select all

print testvariable.decode(eg.systemEncoding)

Thanks, Pako, but I'm afraid that doesn't work. I have my zones like this:

Code: Select all

eg.globals.Rom[1] = 'WC'
eg.globals.Rom[2] = 'Garderoberom'
eg.globals.Rom[3] = 'Midtsoverom'
eg.globals.Rom[4] = 'Hj├©rnesoverom'
eg.globals.Rom[5] = 'Hovedsoverom'
eg.globals.Rom[6] = 'Bad'
eg.globals.Rom[7] = 'Stue'
eg.globals.Rom[8] = 'Kj├©kken'
eg.globals.Rom[9] = 'Kino'
eg.globals.Rom[10] = 'Biljardrom'
eg.globals.Rom[11] = 'Kjellerkontor'
eg.globals.Rom[12] = 'Treningsrom'
eg.globals.Rom[13] = 'Gjesterom'

And if I try this:

Code: Select all

print eg.globals.Rom[8].decode(eg.systemEncoding)

I get this:

Code: Select all

14:16:39      Kjøkken

So what I need is a way to get this to show "kj├©kken" instead. I use it amongst other things in this print statement:

Code: Select all

print '%s.: Temperatur: %s, termostattemperatur: %s, tidspunkt: %s\n'%((eg.globals.Rom[int(Rom)]),eg.globals.Romtemperatur[Rom],eg.globals.Termostatemperatur[Rom], eg.globals.Tid[Rom])

Here the eg.globals.Rom[int(Rom)] is the variable that contains ├©. Is there a way to get that right?

Is there a way to get that right?

Of course.
I wrote, correctly it should be as follows:

Code: Select all

testvariable = u'├©├ª├Ñ'

So your real variables should look like this:

Code: Select all

eg.globals.Rom[1] = u'WC'
eg.globals.Rom[2] = u'Garderoberom'
eg.globals.Rom[3] = u'Midtsoverom'
eg.globals.Rom[4] = u'Hj├©rnesoverom'
eg.globals.Rom[5] = u'Hovedsoverom'
eg.globals.Rom[6] = u'Bad'
eg.globals.Rom[7] = u'Stue'
eg.globals.Rom[8] = u'Kj├©kken'
eg.globals.Rom[9] = u'Kino'
eg.globals.Rom[10] = u'Biljardrom'
eg.globals.Rom[11] = u'Kjellerkontor'
eg.globals.Rom[12] = u'Treningsrom'
eg.globals.Rom[13] = u'Gjesterom'

Aha, now I understand! I thought the u would be part of the variable! Silly me. Thanks a lot! That even fixed the problem I had with the webserver not eating these letters.
