When a source file contains a string literal with an out-of-range \U escape (e.g. "\U12345678"), instead of a syntax error pointing to the offending literal, I get this, without any indication of the file or line:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-9: illegal Unicode character This is quite hard to track down. (Both the location of the bad literal in the source file, and the origin of the error in the parser. :-) Can someone come up with a fix? I note that raw escapes show a slightly different error. I also note that the same issue exists for u"..." literals in Python 2.5. -- --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
