What is subtly wrong about this piece of code? I can't see any bugs

raised).
Perhaps, along with one of those gotchas, a mix of tabs and spaces are
used such that the second line only _appears_ to have a different level
of indentation? ;)
Neither. As back in time as I can go (Python 1.5), having any character
after the backslash has always been a syntax error no matter what. Only
the error message has changed:
C:\TEMP>python15 syntaxerror.py
File "syntaxerror.py", line 18
value = foo.bar()['first'][0]*baz.quux(1, 2)[5:9] \
^
SyntaxError: invalid token
So the "it might be subtly wrong" argument is strongly wrong.
