I just had a heap of trouble understanding what was happening while debugging a UnicodeDecodeError with print statements.

I was confusing myself with crazy theories but in the end the problem was just that printing a particular string hangs:

print '\xe6\x9c\xaa\xe5\x91\xbd\xe5\x90\x8d.jpg'

What causes it to hang?

What should I be using instead to print to the console? print repr(x)?

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
