title: Storing hindi text in python list
body: <p>I need to store Hindi words in a python list. When I store Hindi word , its being stored as utf-8 encoded string and not the actual word. Though if I traverse through the list, I am able to print words in Hindi but when I print list , it shows utf-8 encoded strings.</p>
  
  <p>This is what I am getting when i print list 'tags'</p>
