New submission from John Taylor: I am using Python 3.5.2 on OS X 10.11.6. The same error occurs with 3.5.2 on Windows 10.
When I run the attached code, I get this error: SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 23-24: truncated \uXXXX escape I think unicode processing should be ignored inside of multiline comments. Inside of my comments, I really want to use this text verbatim. ---------- components: Interpreter Core files: example.py messages: 285573 nosy: jftuga priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Unicode errors occur inside of multi-line comments type: behavior versions: Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file46303/example.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29285> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
