title: Strange Barcode Appearance in CMD (python), explanation?
body: <p>Something very weird happened.  I'm experimenting with the split() method and parsing data.  When I printed my results to CMD there was a random barcode among the lines.  When I ran the program again, there was no barcode.</p>
  
  <p>Any explanation / hypothesis?</p>
  
  <pre><code>file = open("dbuslog.txt", "r")
  lines = file.readlines()
  
  
  line = lines[0].split('=:')
  line = ' '.join(line)
  print ""
  print line
  line = line.split(' -&gt;')
  line = ''.join(line)
  
  print ""
  print line
  line = line.split('=')
  line = ' '.join(line)
  print ""
  print line
  line = line.split(' ')
  print ""
  print line
  
  dict = {}
  if len(line)%2 == 0:
      index = 0
      while index &lt; len(line)-1:
          dict[line[index]] = line[index+1]
          index += 2
  else:
      print "SOMETHING IS WRONG, DID NOT PARSE CORRECTLY, ODD NUMBER OF ITEMS"
  print ""
  print dict
  
  file.close()
  </code></pre>

  The upper one is our attempt to find a match.  When it is flipped horizontally it meets the specifications for ITF (Interleaved 2 of 5)</p>
