Hello, I think I have found a small bug in the python manual. URL: http://docs.python.org/py3k/reference/lexical_analysis.html chapter: 2.4.1. String and Bytes literals, Notes 4.: replace "exactly two hex digits" by "exactly four hex digits". An additional note from a python newbie, reading the doc the first time: At the very end of the above URL, there is clearly stated, that the characters $ and ? are immediate errors (outside strings and comments). But what about the backtick character ` (\x60)? I do not find it mentioned anywhere, definitely not inside that URL. Shouldn't that char then be mentioned in the bottom section? Otherwise: many thanks for the really good documentation! Regards, -- Heiner Marxen http://www.drb.insel.de/~heiner/

Hi Heiner, thanks for the report; you're right on both counts, fixed now in subversion. The backtick wasn't included in the erroneous characters list because it's used in Python 2.x, and we forgot to include it here again. regards, Georg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkvod+AACgkQN9GcIYhpnLBAGQCfT1YKYZNZNhZZRiF4g3HK95lv bYMAnji8AqMCpBfRMnoqPTwxOfdTCwhG =AT6a -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
