Vedran Čačić added the comment: That's because it is not commented code, it is a multiline string literal. And it is not raw, so \Un... is just an error, since n is not a valid hexadecimal digit. In the first code, \Un... is inside a raw string so it is read literally.
There is nothing to fix here. If you really want to continue confusing string literals and comments, you'll have to use r'''...''' to be a bit more general for this case. ---------- nosy: +veky _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue31253> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
