[issue4164] String double quoted fatal problem
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment:
All your samples explain easily if you consider that two adjacent string
literals are joined together. (You seem to consider that double quote
is a way to insert a quote character. It's not; Python is not Pascal or
SQL)
Your first two examples become:
a='a''a' two adjacent strings == 'aa'
a='aa' three adjacent strings ('a' + '' + 'a') == 'aa'
The third is an error:
a='a''a' one string ('a') followed by the beginning of a triple
quoted string (''') which content starts with the characters (''a') but
does not have a matching (''') to finish the string, hence the Syntax
error.
... and so on. Please have a look at
