I think at least part of the justification is that it keeps the grammar simple. The tokenising happens identically irrespective of any modifiers. The r modifier doesn't actually change the syntax of the string at all, just the interpretation of the token. If you changed this then the grammar would become slightly more complex. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
