Thanks for submitting an issue!

Here's a quick checklist in what to include:

• Include a detailed description of the bug or suggestion
• pip list of the virtual environment you are using
• pytest and operating system versions
• Minimal example if possible

I want to print original unicode text without escaping, but I can't find anyway to do that.

code:

import pytest

@pytest.mark.parametrize('text,result', [
    ['테스트1', False],
    ['테스트2', False],
])
def test_func(text):
    assert False

result of pytest run

$ pytest t.py
======= test session starts =========
platform darwin -- Python 3.6.1, pytest-3.0.7, py-1.4.33, pluggy-0.4.0 -- ~/.pyenv/versions/3.6.1/bin/python
cachedir: .cache
plugins: asyncio-0.5.0
collected 2 items

t.py::test_func[\ud14c\uc2a4\ud2b81-False] FAILED
t.py::test_func[\ud14c\uc2a4\ud2b82-False] FAILED

Expected result:

t.py::test_func[테스트1-False] FAILED
t.py::test_func[테스트2-False] FAILED

Unfortunately, I found you are regarding this as a feature in: #1470

So, for now, I am doing that by adding:

import _pytest
_pytest.python._escape_strings = lambda x: x

I really need to see the original unicode text, because escaped characters are not human readable. At least, it is a lot better to be displayed in both escaped and unescaped way, not just in escaped way.

Is there any better way?
