I need to write out a file containing the # comment. When I try to specify it as part of a literal, everything afterward turns into a comment.
I finally created a file containing the #, read it in, and used the resulting variable as part of the string I created. But that is so kludgy, even a newbie like me is ashamed to use it, though I did. Supposedly, I can us \x followed by the hex equivalent and somehow make that work. Can anybody give an example of this; my attempts failed. Or is there something simpler? There must be. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
