Hello, I am new to python, but i am quite curious about the following.
suppose you had print '\378' which should not work because \377 is the max. then it displays two characters (an 8 and a heart in my case...). What else does'nt quite make sense is that if this is an octal why is an 8 accepted? for instance is 378 really 11, 111, 1000 which is then the two characters: <00000001>,<1111000>. And why is this accepted? I apologize if this has been discussed or if it is obvious. I would appreciate it if someone could clear me up.
