Even when it doesn't cause a syntax error and the attempted prefix is ignored, it's still more syntactically correct compared to attempting to use an "e-string" (which of course doesn't exist) and has nearly zero cost on our end to fix. While it's a low priority issue since it doesn't raise an error, that doesn't necessarily mean it's correct. In the latest stable version of the stdlib, we should aim to provide a good example IMO, especially if it comes at practically zero cost to us. ---------- nosy: +aeros resolution: fixed -> stage: resolved -> patch review status: closed -> open versions: +Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40431> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
