Guido van Rossum added the comment: Your example does not use a "raw" string -- a raw string has an 'r' in front of the opening string quotes. Try this instead:
>>> s = r"""a\ ... b""" >>> s 'a\\\nb' Your second issue is correct -- the definition of \xXX in Python has changed over the years to what you observed. I still don't think it matches the C standard though. :-) Assigning to Georg for a doc fixup. I'm assuming this is also for higher Python versions. ---------- assignee: -> georg.brandl keywords: +easy nosy: +georg.brandl, gvanrossum __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1889> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
