I want to use “Importação de petróleo” in my program.

How can I do that because all encodings give me errors as cannot encode.

    I think you’re confusing the string __repr__ with its __str__:

    >>> s = u"Importação de petróleo"
>>> s
u'Importa\xe7\xe3o de petr\xf3leo'
>>> print s
Importação de petróleo

    There’s no problem with \xe7 and friends; they are just the encoding representation for those special characters. You can’t avoid them and you shouldn’t need to 🙂
