[Python-Dev] Backslash at end of raw string

• Previous message: [Python-Dev] Splitting something into two steps produces different behavior from doing it in one fell swoop in Python 2.6.2

Python (e.g. 2.5) does not accept a backslash as the LAST character of a raw string:

>>> r"\"
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    r"\"
        ^
Syntax Error: EOL while scanning single-quoted string.

path = r'\MyDir\MySubDir\'  # raises same error
path = r'\MyDir\MySubDir'   # no error

Isn't this a bug?
