PEP: 223
Title: Change the Meaning of \x Escapes
Version: $Revision$
Author: tpeters@beopen.com (Tim Peters)
Python-Version: 2.0
Status: Draft
Created: 20-Aug-2000
Post-History:
Abstract
Change \x escapes, in both 8-bit and Unicode strings, to consume
exactly the two hex digits following. The proposal views this as
correcting an original design flaw, leading to clearer expression
in all flavors of string, a cleaner Unicode story, better
compatibility with Perl regular expressions, and with minimal risk
to existing code.
