The module doc string contains an example with hex escape sequences (see
below). They are converted to their literal values by pydoc, which
results in an unexpected encoding for the output of pydoc.

(raw string, or proper escaping solves the problem)

Relevant chunk of the file:

        anotherString="\<hello & hi there!\>",
        aUnicodeValue=u'M\\xe4ssig, Ma\\xdf',
        aTrueValue=True,
        aFalseValue=False,
    ),
    someData = Data("\<binary gunk\>"),
    someMoreData = Data("\<lots of binary gunk\>" * 10),
    aDate =

datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(time.mktime(time.gmtime())),
)
# unicode keys are possible, but a little awkward to use:
pl[u'\xc5benraa'] = "That was a unicode key."
