New issue 2519: Unbalanced LaTeX style quotes in PyPy3 welcome message https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/2519/unbalanced-latex-style-quotes-in-pypy3
peterjc: PyPy2 does not show a welcome message starting "And now for something completely different", e.g. ```bash $ ~/Downloads/pypy-5.7-linux_x86_64-portable/bin/pypy Python 2.7.13 (fa3249d55d15b9829e1be69cdf45b5a44cec902d, Mar 21 2017, 14:51:03) [PyPy 5.7.0 with GCC 6.3.0] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>>> quit() ``` However, PyPy3 shows a random quote wrapped in LaTeX style quote marks (double back tick for opening, double apostrophe for closing), e.g. ```bash $ ~/Downloads/pypy3.5-5.7-beta-linux_x86_64-portable/bin/pypy Python 3.5.3 (b16a4363e930f6401bceb499b9520955504c6cb0, Mar 21 2017, 12:36:24) [PyPy 5.7.0-beta0 with GCC 6.3.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. And now for something completely different: ``"Somewhere inside the large lumbering blob of PyPy there is an elegant core trying to get out." - cfbolz'' >>>> quit() ``` or: ```bash $ ~/Downloads/pypy3.5-5.7-beta-linux_x86_64-portable/bin/pypy Python 3.5.3 (b16a4363e930f6401bceb499b9520955504c6cb0, Mar 21 2017, 12:36:24) [PyPy 5.7.0-beta0 with GCC 6.3.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. And now for something completely different: ``happy new year'' >>>> quit() ``` This style is now archaic and likely to cause trouble in other settings after copy-and-pasting. In particular most markdown languages consider back-ticks to indicate a code literal - and many bug trackers (e.g. GitHub, BitBucket) use this for reporting issues. I propose that you simply remove the double-back-tick and the double-apostrophe. _______________________________________________ pypy-issue mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-issue
