New submission from Steven D'Aprano <steve+pyt...@pearwood.info>:
Currently invisible control characters aside from whitespace (tabs, newlines, formfeeds, carriage returns) are prohibited outside of comments and string literals. As discussed in this thread: https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-...@python.org/message/DN24FK3A2DSO4HBGEDGJXERSAUYK6VK6/ we should ban C0 and C1 control characters (aside from \t\n\f\r) in string literals and comments too. To be clear, the ban is on actual invisible control characters, not escape sequences. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 406370 nosy: serhiy.storchaka, steven.daprano priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Prohibit invisible control characters in string literals and comments type: security versions: Python 3.11 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45810> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
