  What's New in Python 2.1 alpha 2?
  =================================
+ 
  Core language, builtins, and interpreter
+ 
+ - repr(string) is easier to read, now using hex escapes instead of octal,
+   and using \t, \n and \r instead of \011, \012 and \015 (respectively):
+ 
+   >>> "\texample \r\n" + chr(0) + chr(255)
+   '\texample \r\n\x00\xff'         # in 2.1
+   '\011example \015\012\000\377'   # in 2.0
