When I correctly trap an IOError a spurious u' appears in the file
path in the exception message :
The path used in the code is correct i.e. /home/myfile
But the error message says :
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/home/myfile'
I am simply doing
 except IOError, e:
 print str(e)
Any ideas where the 'u is coming from?
This is python 2.4.1
