Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment: The unicode-escape codec was used in Python 2 to convert Unicode literals in source code to Unicode objects. Before PEP 263, Unicode literals in source code were interpreted as Latin-1. See http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ for details.
The implementation is correct, but doesn't necessarily match today's realities anymore. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21331> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
