This isn't about me. As a heavy user of the 3.8 beta, I'm just the canary in the coal mine.
After many encounters with these warnings, I'm starting to believe that Python's long-standing behavior was convenient for users. Effectively, "\-" wasn't an error, it was just a way of writing "\-". For the most part, that worked out fine. Sure, we all seen interactive prompt errors from having \t in a pathname but not in production (likely because a FileNotFoundError would surface immediately). _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/4YNZYCOBWGMLC6BDXQFJJWLXEK47I5PU/
