Nathaniel Smith <n...@pobox.com> added the comment: That's a "form feed" or "page break" character: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_break
Quoting that page: "The form feed character is sometimes used in plain text files of source code as a delimiter for a page break, or as marker for sections of code. Some editors, in particular emacs and vi, have built-in commands to page up/down on the form feed character. This convention is predominantly used in Lisp code, and is also seen in C and Python source code." It's perhaps a bit old-fashioned, but some of us are old-fashioned kinds of people :-). ---------- nosy: +njs -serhiy.storchaka stage: resolved -> _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33434> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
