Guido van Rossum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: We went over this before. *I* consider the 2.x behavior a mistake, and a decision was made to change in 3.0. It got much worse in 3.0 because all literals are Unicode (except byte literals).
To add a unicode value to a raw string, just concatenate a raw string and a non-raw string, e.g. r'whatever' '\u1234' r'whatever' I don't understand what you meant by '\x1234' -- the \x escape only accepts 2 hex digits. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2557> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
