New submission from Tim Gordon: If you have a raw string with a backslash as the last character, the parser thinks the following quote, actually used to mark the end of the string, is being quoted by the backslash. For example, r'\' should be the string with one backslash, but...
>>> print r'\' SyntaxError: EOL while scanning single-quoted string There seems to have been a fix added to python 3.0 (see issue 1720390), but it doesn't look like it's been backtracked into any earlier version. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 56370 nosy: QuantumTim severity: normal status: open title: Raw string parsing fails with backslash as last character versions: Python 2.4, Python 2.5 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1271> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
