Parsing has extra u in front of value #42

Closed wsmitchell3 closed 6 years ago

wsmitchell3 commented 6 years ago

When parsing, many of the values in the dictionary have a u before the quoted value. Input: W0DRK-2>APRS,KD0BXJ-2,N0PBA-1,WIDE2*:!4409.98N/09537.30W# W0DRK Digi Tracy MN<0x20>

Yields output: {'comment': u'W0DRK Digi Tracy MN<0x20>', 'via': '', 'from': u'W0DRK-2', 'posambiguity': 0, 'to': u'APRS', 'messagecapable': False, 'symbol': u'#', 'format': 'uncompressed', 'longitude': -95.62166666666667, 'raw': u'W0DRK-2>APRS,KD0BXJ-2,N0PBA-1,WIDE2*:!4409.98N/09537.30W# W0DRK Digi Tracy MN<0x20>', 'symbol_table': u'/', 'latitude': 44.166333333333334, 'path': [u'KD0BXJ-2', u'N0PBA-1', u'WIDE2*']}

Yes, the strings are returned as unicode in python2. What is the issue?

Ah. Okay, I hadn't seen that notation before. I have it exporting correctly into the next part of my program now. Thanks.
