[Pyrex] Issue with strings (when working interactively)

[Yuriy Pasichnyk]

Dear Sirs,

 

Could you possibly point me where I should look regarding the following
issue:

 

Let's say I have the following in my spam.pyx file:

#------------------------------------------------------

cdef class Test:

    cdef char *x

    def __new__(self):

        self.x = ''

    def setx(self, object v):

        self.x = v

    def __repr__(self):

        return 'Test(' + self.x + ')'

#------------------------------------------------------

 

Now, if I call setx  method of class test from a script test.py everything
works fine (see content of test.py below)

#-------------------------------------------------------

from spam import *

x = Test()

print x

x.setx("Hello !!!")

print x

x.setx("God day, isn't it?")

print x

#-------------------------------------------------------

 

Output:

#-------------------------------------------------------

Test('')

Test('Hello !!!')

Test("God day, isn't it?")

#-------------------------------------------------------

 

But when I work interactively by typing commands in Python interpreter
things go wrong (see below - marked in red)

#-------------------------------------------------------

ActivePython 2.3.4 Build 233 (ActiveState Corp.) based on

Python 2.3.4 (#53, Oct 18 2004, 20:35:07) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> from spam import *

>>> x = Test()

>>> print x

Test('')

>>> x.setx('Hello !!!')

>>> print x

Test('\xd0\x15\x8e')

#-------------------------------------------------------

 

Any ideas what might go wrong?

 

Thanks in advance for your help,
