A reasonable position to take. I disagree with it, but it is certainly reasonable. > not as warnings. I don't know what language you're talking about here, because non-special escape sequences in Python aren't either errors or warnings: >>> print "ab\cd" ab\cd No warning is made, because it's not considered an error that requires a warning. This matches the behaviour of other languages, including C and bash. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
