On Windows '\x00' is same as ' ', but on linux string is terminated at first occurance of '\x00'. Results on problems with pySerial and binary data, so I can't replace '\x00' with ' '.

Windows makes \x00 a space? How odd.
This is the result for me on linux:
Your comment on the last line of your example seems to have been truncated, so I'm not sure what you really saw.

Jānis, please present examples as proper python -- indentation and comment char -- so others can copy/paste to run without editing.
In Idle (tkinter -- tk), '\0' is displayed as a wider space than ' '. The console is fixed pitch, so it cannot do that.
I suspect that the response of a window to \0 is window system dependent and probably out of our control. If so, this issue should be closed.

Jānis:
This is not what I get on Linux: I see "11 Hithere:)" because the console chooses to not print the \x00. The character is present in the output stream though.
Did you really got a truncated output? How did you run the above script?

Closing due to lack of response.
