I have a patch against (*) 2.6 tokanize.py that ignores '' characters in raw strings. This has two effects. A matching quote, """, ''', ", ', of the type that started the string closes the string even if it is preceded by a back slash, and a back slash can end a raw string. No changes to regular string behavior was made.

I'll try to make a patch against the python 3000 branch and uploaded so it can be used for testing. (Unless of course someone else has already did it.)
