That would be great! This will automatically turn \u1234 into 6 characters, right?

Perhaps you could make the patch against the py3k-struni branch instead of against the regular p3yk (sic) branch?

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.)
