Python, are you ill?

If you are in the interactive prompt of the Python interpreter and you
do this

print """Testing\"""   or   print '''Testing\'''

you get three dots [...] as if Python expects a code block. If you
press Enter, you get three dots again, and again, and again... You
can't get out of the code block with pressing the Enter key; you have
to press Ctrl+Z (if you're in Linux) in order to get out of that code
block, which then throws you back to the Linux command line, but
before that it prints this line

[1]+  Stopped                 python


If you do

print "Testing\"   or   print 'Testing\'

you get an error, but not of you use the triple quotes. Is that a bug
in the interpreter perhaps?
