Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Documentation Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Michael Haggerty (mhagger) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Incorrect documentation of raw unidaq string literals Initial Comment: In the Python Reference Manual, section 2.4.1 (String literals), the last paragraph contains the sentence: > When an "r" or "R" prefix is used in conjunction with > a "u" or "U" prefix, then the \uXXXX escape sequence > is processed while all other backslashes are left in > the string. I believe this is incorrect; \UXXXXXXXX sequences also seem to be processed (at least in Python 2.3.5 and 2.4.1), and it is also logical that they should be processed. The required change to the text is obvious: When an "r" or "R" prefix is used in conjunction with a "u" or "U" prefix, then the \uXXXX and \UXXXXXXXX escape sequences are processed while all other backslashes are left in the string. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1359053&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
