It happens outside iPython: Python 3.4.3 (default, Oct 14 2015, 20:28:29) [GCC 4.8.4] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import io, tokenize >>> tokenize.untokenize(tokenize.tokenize(io.BytesIO('if x:\n >>> y'.encode()).readline)).decode() 'if x:\n y\\\n' and also in Python 2: Python 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56) [GCC 4.8.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import io, tokenize >>> tokenize.untokenize(tokenize.generate_tokens(io.BytesIO('if x:\n >>> y').readline)) 'if x:\n y\\\n' > Before reporting it as a bug, I recommend that you confirm that it also > occurs in the standard Python interpreter and isn't iPython specific.
