This is not a bug.  Triple-quoted strings are strings, not comments,
and the '#' character in a string is just a '#', not a comment marker.

Also, for future reference, this is not the correct list for reporting
bugs (other than documentation bugs); see bugs.python.org for the
Python bug tracker.

Hope this helps,
