More advanced syntax highlighting editors have to handle each string type separately anyway, because they highlight (valid) backslash-escapes and f-string formatters. The proposed 'v-string' type would need separate handling even in a simplistic editor like IDLE, because it's different at the basic level of \" not ending the string (whereas, for better or worse, all current string types have exactly the same rules for how to find the end delimiter) _______________________________________________ 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/H77NNYCZI37JCHGSMIHMTKNQVK5SGCWY/
