Roger Serwy <roger.se...@gmail.com> added the comment: With IDLE 3.2 on Ubuntu 11.04, this is not a problem. An error box pops up:
SyntaxError (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-3: truncated \xXX escape With IDLE 2.7.1 on Ubuntu 11.04, the console gives the error described by Amaury. A quick fix would be to add "ValueError" to the except clause in "checksyntax" in ScriptBinding for the 2.7 branch. ---------- nosy: +serwy versions: +Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8793> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
