title: python: extended ASCII codes
body: <p>Hi I want to know how I can append and then print extended ASCII codes in python.
  I have the following.</p>
  
  <pre><code>code = chr(247)
  
  li = []
  li.append(code)
  print li
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The result python print out is ['\xf7'] when it should be a division symbol. If I simple print code directly "print code" then I get the division symbol but not if I append it to a list. What am I doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks. </p>
