[New-bugs-announce] [issue33068] Inconsistencies in parsing (evaluating?) longstrings

[David Lukeš]

New submission from David Lukeš <dafydd.lukes at gmail.com>:

""" \""" """ evaluates to ' """ ' (as expected), but without the surrounding spaces, """\"""""" evaluates to '"' instead of '"""'.

Is this expected behavior? If I'm reading the definition of string syntax in https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#string-and-bytes-literals correctly, it shouldn't be.
