This is why \n and other ASCII whitespace characters, and '#', which starts a comment, should be escaped. '\\\n' and '\\n' has identical meaning independent of mode and context, so there is no bug here. Escaping '\n' as '\\\n' is slightly simpler. ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42668> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
