Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: The error is not uncatchable; but it is generated while compiling, like a SyntaxError. No bytecode is generated for the input, and the "except" opcode is not run at all.
OTOH, there is a bug in PyUnicode_DecodeRawUnicodeEscape(): it should accept code points > 0xffff. It has another problem: >>> ur'\U00010000' u'\x00' I join a patch to make raw-unicode-escape similar to unicode-escape: characters outside the Basic Plane are encoded into a utf-16 surrogate pair; on decoding, utf-16 surrogates are decoded into \U00xxxxxx. ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file9714/raw-unicode-escape.patch __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1477> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
