Zach Hirsch <zhir...@umich.edu> added the comment: I've hit this, too, and it's annoyed me. So here's a patch against trunk that should fix it.
The idea is: whenever unicode_literals are turned on (or the -U command line flag is passed), to convert r"\u" to "\u005c\u0075" and r"\U" to "\u005c\u0055" for every string literal in the source file before passing the string to PyUnicode_DecodeRawUnicodeEscape. ---------- keywords: +patch message_count: 2.0 -> 3.0 nosy: +zhirsch nosy_count: 2.0 -> 3.0 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file13280/raw-unicode-literals.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5447> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
