Armin Rigo <[email protected]> added the comment: Note that a similar issue was closed as invalid about comment lines that contain null bytes, which CPython handles highly inconsistently.
This issue here is arguably more important, although I'm unsure how including binary data in a .py file with a specific encoding is supposed to work. I guess it works just because, by chance, the iso8859-1 encoding accepts any character sequence. If you replaced "iso8859-1" with, say, "utf8", then the example gives a SyntaxError on CPython and all versions of PyPy. ---------- nosy: +arigo ________________________________________ PyPy bug tracker <[email protected]> <https://bugs.pypy.org/issue1762> ________________________________________ _______________________________________________ pypy-issue mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-issue
