Can I get the 8bit-string representation of any unicode string

Thank you all for your replies :-)

I may misunderstood it.  I will think about it carefully.

By the way, does python has a interface, just like iconv in libc for
C/C++?  Or, how can I convert a string from a encoding into another
one?


Thank you so much.
