In my understanding of the C code that's what the C tokenizer is doing as well. Here's the relevant snippet of the tokenizer (https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/4b222c9491d1700e9bdd98e6889b8d0ea1c7321e/Parser/tokenizer.c#L1358): When the tokenizer sees a valid identifier start, it goes into a loop that checks for a valid combination of string prefixes. If the combination is valid and it sees a quote directly after that, it goto's to the STRING-handling code. If not, then it breaks out of the loop and returns a NAME node. Am I missing something? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40246> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
