| Section '2.4.1 String literals' says that shortstringchar and longstringchar are ASCII characters. This is wrong, however, because non-ASCII characters are allowed as well. The documentation of \xhh and \ooo (in the same section) says that they represent ASCII characters. It seems to me that they actually represent ISO-8859-1 characters (which is important if these escape sequences occur in a unicode string literal). Is that the intended behavior, by the way? Shouldn't it rather depend on the -*- coding -*- of the source file? Maybe also add a reference to PEP 263? | ||

Correction: They represent bytes in normal strings and \u00xx in unicode strings. | ||
