Andrew Wall added the comment:
My lazy way of programming is to piece together lines of code, going round and
round commenting and uncommenting sections until I get something that works.
My new lazy way of commenting out larger chunks of code will be:
r'''
... several lines of code
Vedran Čačić added the comment:
That's because it is not commented code, it is a multiline string literal. And
it is not raw, so \Un... is just an error, since n is not a valid hexadecimal
digit. In the first code, \Un... is inside a raw string so it is read literally.
There is nothing to fix
New submission from Andrew Wall:
Python can parse and run this code:
log = list(r'..\Unknown\*.txt')
but not this:
'''
log = list(r'..\Unknown\*.txt')
'''
