Python's ascii(~) method returns a printable representation of an object as a string. It escapes non-ASCII characters using \x, \u or \U.
Parameters
1. obj | object
The object to return a printable representation for.
Return value
A printable representation of the input object as a string.
Examples
Basic usage
To return a printable representation of 'marché':
ascii('marché')
"'march\\xe9'"
é is not an ASCII character hence it is escaped to \xe9. The \x indicates that what follows it is a hexadecimal value.
NOTE
The output is returned inside double-quotes. This means when this result is passed to eval() we will return a properly escaped version of the original object. The extra \ is added before \xe9 to make it escaped.
