Patch to highlight Python 3 byte literals (934 bytes, patch)
2011-05-16 09:31 UTC, Noam Yorav-Raphael 		none Details | Review

Description Noam Yorav-Raphael 2010-12-19 11:29:34 UTC 
Hello,

Python 3 has the notion of "bytes literals". They're written b"hello" and specify byte-strings. The complete specification is in http://docs.python.org/py3k/reference/lexical_analysis.html#string-and-bytes-literals

Currently the 'b' in front of the string is not considered a part of the string for syntax highlighting. I suggest changing line 84 in python.lang from

   <define-regex id="raw-string-prefix">(r|ur|R|UR|Ur|uR)</define-regex>

to

   <define-regex id="raw-string-prefix">(r|ur|R|UR|Ur|uR|b|B|br|Br|bR|BR)</define-regex>

Thanks,
Noam

Sorry for the delay - I'm not familiar with git. Here's the patch.

Thanks! Sorry for my status change, I didn't know what the correct status should be, and resolved/incomplete didn't seem right.
Comment 6 Paolo Borelli 2012-04-15 16:17:03 UTC 
We now have a python3.lang and I think this bug is fixed. Please reopen if that's not the case.
