I think standard Python should somehow have two options: escape everything but ASCII (for unambuguity and old display systems) and escape nothing that is potentially printable (leaving partially capable systems to fare as they will). In-between solutions will ultimately be programmer and system specific.
If repr() is made to work as Martin suggests (i.e. only escape the unprintable stuff), then the unicode_escape codec can be used fairly easily to restore the 2.x escape everything non-ASCII behaviour.
Cheers, Nick.
