We obviously need another quote character. I think we're going to have to dip into unicode to get it ;) Just to get it out of the way - as a totally unfeasible and bad idea ... why not use double quotes for unicode literals, and single quotes for byte literals? "this is a unicode literal" 'this is a byte literal' There - got it out of my system. Although, now something else is suggesting that backticks could be repurposed for the job ... `this is a byte literal` Tim Delaney _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
