一、编码
推荐阅读《字符编码的前世今生》：http://tgideas.qq.com/webplat/info/news_version3/804/808/811/m579/201307/218730.shtml
1. 常见编码介绍
2. 编码转换
Python内部的字符串一般都是 Unicode编码。代码中字符串的默认编码与代码文件本身的编码是一致的。所以要做一些编码转换通常是要以Unicode作为中间编码进行转换的，即先将其他编码的字符串解码（decode）成 Unicode，再从 Unicode编码（encode）成另一种编码。
所以在进行编码转换的时候必须先知道 name 是那种编码，然后 decode 成 Unicode 编码，最后才 encode 成需要编码的编码。当然了，如果 name 已经就是 Unicode 编码了，那么就不需要进行 decode 进行解码转换了，直接用 encode 就可以编码成你所需要的编码。值得注意的是：对 Unicode 进行编码和对 str 进行编码都是错误的。
要在同一个文本中进行两种编码的输出等操作就必须进行编码的转换，先用decode将文本原来的编码转换成Unicode，再用encode将编码转换成需要转换成的编码。
二、Set集合
Set集合是一个无序不重复的。源码中对他的诸多方法进行了说明

下边就几个常用的方法进行练习，方便加深理解
测试数据如下
1 a = {1,2,3,4} 2 b = {2,4,6,7}
2.1 set的创建
1 set_1 = set() #创建一个空集合 2 set_2 = {123, "456"} #集合中包含元素123,"456" 3 #将list转换为set 4 list_1 = [1,2,3,4,4] 5 set_3 = set(list_1) 6 # set_3 = [1,2,3,4]
2.2 set.difference和set.difference_update
1 a = {1,2,3,4} 2 b = {2,4,6,7} 3 c = a.difference(b) 4 print(c) # a中存在，b中不存在的，返回一个新的集合 5 out: {1, 3} 6 a.difference_update(b) # 将a中存在，b中不存在的元素集，对a进行修改 7 print(c) 8 out: {1, 3}
2.3 set.symmetric_difference和set.symmetric_difference_update
