Except that now I can't find the adjacent string literals in the grammar any more! I'm looking al http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/ref/grammar.txt The path goes from primary to atom to literal to stringliteral (and from there on into lexical detail) and nowhere does the grammar show that multiple string literals are allowed. Adding a single + after stringliteral in the expansion for literal would fix this. Once that is fixed, we could probably reduce the text of the offending section somewhat to use the phrase "where allowed by the grammar" and skip the mentioning of different quoting conventions or intervening whitespace. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) ___ Python-Dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

Of course, otherwise it wouldn't work! :-) > Is that grammar.txt file generated from > Grammar/Grammar or is it done by hand? By hand. The reference manual has more detail (Grammar/Grammar doesn't say anything about what a STRING is, or other literals) and presents some rules in a more readable form which wouldn't work for Grammar/Grammar given the LL1 constraints of pgen. It also chooses more readable names. But the translation process is fallible. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) ___ Python-Dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
