I understand what you're saying, but I'm struggling with how to represent the following strings in doctest code and doctest results. No matter what combination of backslashes or raw strings I use, I am unable to find a way to code the following. >>> encode( '", \, \t, \n' ) '\", \\, \\t, \\n' Thank you, Malcolm -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
