Hi all,
I'm using Python 3.3, and I was surprised to realize that it does not
support the old Python 2 syntax ur"literal-raw-unicode-strings".
Is there any trick to write such literals in a Python2+3 compatible
source?
Is there a rationale behind the invalid syntax or is it just a glitch?
thanks in advance,
bye, lele.
From
http://docs.python.org/3.3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#string-and-bytes-literals
"Both string and bytes literals may optionally be prefixed with a letter
'r' or 'R'; such strings are called raw strings and treat backslashes as
literal characters. As a result, in string literals, '\U' and '\u'
escapes in raw strings are not treated specially. Given that Python
2.x’s raw unicode literals behave differently than Python 3.x’s the 'ur'
syntax is not supported."
