New submission from Guido van Rossum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: In 2.x, \uDDDD and \UDDDDDDDD are interpreted as Unicode escapes in raw Unicode strings. That was a mistake, but we can't fix it (except when using "from __future__ import unicode_literals"). In 3.0, \u or \U in a raw string should have no special meaning -- it's just a backslash followed by 'u' or 'U'.
This was fixed in 3.0a3. It seems to have reverted to the old (2.x) behavior in 3.0a4. THIS MUST BE FIXED! ---------- messages: 64977 nosy: gvanrossum priority: release blocker severity: normal status: open title: \u and \U in raw strings have reverted type: behavior versions: Python 3.0 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2557> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
