Hi, I tried this in the IDLE (version 3.1.2) shell:
>>> r'\' SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal But according to the py3k docs (http://docs.python.org/release/3.0.1/whatsnew/3.0.html): All backslashes in raw string literals are interpreted literally. So I suppose this is a bug? Yingjie -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
