Kuchling (akuchling) Summary: null bytes in docstrings Initial Comment: the following docstrings contain bogus control characters: module difflib, function _mdiff, contains four invalid bytes: ['\x00', '\x00', '\x00', '\x01'] module StringIO, method readline, contains a null byte: ['\x00'] since this breaks help() and probably a bunch of other documentation tools, it would probably be a good idea to add the missing backslashes... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: A.M.
