Well even if it had been right, I omitted one (backslash). I'm such a
newb/hack. lol. No animals were harmed.
Yeah, I have noticed that they don't seem to be needed, but I think I remember
reading "someplace-somewhere" that a backslash means a line continuation, and
perhaps I saw some author put them in. So I did it out of trying to be
"strict."
I'm not sure when a backslash continuation might be needed, or if that
requirement has been designed out of Python.
Anyway, thanks to all for the notes!
