I disagree with this use case; the r"..." notation was not invented for this purpose. I won't compromise the escaping of quotes to accommodate it. Nevertheless I think that \u and \U should lose their special-ness in 3.0. I'd like to hear from anyone who has access to *real code* that uses \u or \U in a raw unicode string. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
