I have no opinion on this, but NFC normalizing the source shouldn't affect the use of \u.... in string literals. Remember, Python's \u is very different from \u in Java (where it happens before the lexer starts tokenizing). Python's \u is more like \x, only valid in string literals. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
