Jason R. Coombs added the comment: One consequence of this change is that now any string that has a backslash needs to be escaped or raw, leading to changes like this on (https://github.com/cherrypy/cherrypy/pull/1610/commits/1d8c03ea8c5fe90f29bbea267300b97c78391c24#diff-be33a4f55d59dfc70fc6452482f3a7a4) where the diagram in the docstring is the culprit. An escaped backslash is not viable in this case, so a raw string is required.
This particular example strikes me as counter-intuitive, though maybe I just need to adjust my intuition. Was the intention for a docstring like above to use raw strings? ---------- nosy: +jason.coombs _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27364> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
