Never see escaped bytes in output.

Uniout

It makes Python print the object representation in readable chars instead of the escaped string.

Example

>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> langs = [
...     'Hello, world!',
...     '你好，世界！',
...     'こんにちは世界',
...     u'Hello, world!',
...     u'你好，世界！',
...     u'こんにちは世界'
... ]
...

Before:

>>> pprint(langs)
['Hello, world!',
 '\xe4\xbd\xa0\xe5\xa5\xbd\xef\xbc\x8c\xe4\xb8\x96\xe7\x95\x8c\xef\xbc\x81',
 '\xe3\x81\x93\xe3\x82\x93\xe3\x81\xab\xe3\x81\xa1\xe3\x81\xaf\xe4\xb8\x96\xe7\x95\x8c',
 u'Hello, world!',
 u'\u4f60\u597d\uff0c\u4e16\u754c\uff01',
 u'\u3053\u3093\u306b\u3061\u306f\u4e16\u754c']

After:

>>> import uniout
>>> pprint(langs)
['Hello, world!',
 '你好，世界！',
 'こんにちは世界',
 u'Hello, world!',
 u'你好，世界！',
 u'こんにちは世界']
