[New-bugs-announce] [issue3298] Multiline string with quotes is not parsed correctly.

[Stavros Korokithakis]

New submission from Stavros Korokithakis <stavros at korokithakis.net>:

A multiline string with quotes next to the ending quote is not parsed 
correctly:

In [1]: """A "test""""
------------------------------------------------------------
   File "<ipython console>", line 1
     """A "test""""
                  ^
<type 'exceptions.SyntaxError'>: EOL while scanning single-quoted string

Is this normal behaviour? It seems to me like the parser should parse 
everything inside the triple double quotes (there is no ambiguity).
