does anyone have an idea, why this Python 3.2 code

try:    
    raise Exception(\'X\')
except Exception as e:
    print(\"Error {0}\".format(str(e)))
         


        

Answer 1

Try this, it should work.

try:    
    raise Exception('X')
except Exception as e:
    print("Error {0}".format(str(e.args[0])).encode("utf-8"))

Considering you have only a message in your internal tuple.
