In the case of pure ASCII, unicode("some string") also works.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
I have a string variable containing some non-ascii characters (from
a characterset which was previously called 'ansi' instead of 'oem'
on windows).
For example the copyright symbol "=A9" (repr("=A9") gives "\xa9").
Now I want to convert this string to unicode.
u"=A9" works fine, unicode(variable) gives an ASCII decoding error.
