Martin Panter added the comment: The plain Python shell does respond to lines with only a comment and/or horizontal space with a continuation prompt. It only treats completely blank lines without any horizontal space specially:
>>> ... # Indented blank line above; completely blank line below: ... >>> Meador: The documentation already says what you proposed: “NL tokens are generated when a logical line of code is continued over multiple physical lines” <https://docs.python.org/dev/library/tokenize.html#tokenize.NL>. Thomas: It sounds like you actually want to differentiate newlines inside bracketed expressions from newlines outside of statements. I think this would require a new feature. Also, I noticed that an escaped continued newline doesn’t seem to generate any token at all. Not sure if this is a bug or intended, but it does seem inconsistent with the other uses of the NL token. $ ./python -btWall -m tokenize 1 + \ 1,0-1,1: NUMBER '1' 1,2-1,3: OP '+' 1 2,0-2,1: NUMBER '1' 2,1-2,2: NEWLINE '\n' 3,0-3,0: ENDMARKER '' ---------- nosy: +martin.panter type: behavior -> enhancement versions: +Python 3.6 -Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17061> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
