John Machin <sjmac...@lexicon.net> added the comment: @ezio: Of course the context is "inside a character class".
I expect r'[\b]' to act like r'\b' aka r'\x08' aka backspace because (1) that is the treatment applied to all other C-like control char escapes (2) the docs say so explicitly: "Inside a character range, \b represents the backspace character, for compatibility with Python’s string literals." ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13899> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
