Hello,

Just an update about this post.

I've kept on digging on the problem of org-babel python results that 
produces encoding problems in
the emacs buffer when the requested results is turned into a org table.

To remind and illustrate the problem, here is an example :
#+name: pytab-test
#+begin_src python :results value :session :preamble # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- 
:return a
a = ( ( "é", "a" ), ( "a", "à" ) )
a
#+end_src

#+TBLNAME: pytab-test
| \303\251 | a        |
| a        | \303\240 |


I have then two problems :
1. The characters are not well displayed in the buffer
2. If I try to save the buffer, emacs doesn't recognize the encoding and 
tells me that "utf-8-unix cannot encode these: \303 \251 [...]

So I decided to inspect what happened during the Python session...
Basically, Org-babel just write the str conversion of my tuple ( ( "é", "a" 
), ( "a", "à" ) ) (that appears (('\xc3\xa9',
'a'), ('a', '\xc3\xa0')) in the python interpreter) in a temporary file.

Then looking in this temporary file, I see that the strange characters are 
written directly \xc3, \xa9, etc.

Consequently, my guess is that org-babel has maybe some difficulties to deal 
with these characters
while reading the temporary file before displaying the results in the 
buffer. 

Unfortunately, this is just a guess and even less a solution... But am I on 
relevant lead???

Thanks in advance for any help...

Roland.
