R. David Murray added the comment: Also note that we have fixed a number of bugs in the stdlib code where a raw string was not used for a docstring when it should have been. And when I say bugs, I mean both formatting problems in pydoc, and doctest bugs. There may even have been a case where it produced a code bug, but I'm not sure I'm recalling that correctly :)
So yes, requiring that a docstring containing backslashes be marked as a raw string is very intentional. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27364> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
