[Jython-users] triple quoted strings don't work in the interactive interpreter?

[Danny Y. <dy...@hk...>]

Hi everyone,


Does anyone know why triple quoted strings won't work in the interactive
interpreter?

###
[dyoo@tesuque dyoo]$ jython
Jython 2.1 on java1.4.0 (JIT: null)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> '''
Traceback (innermost last):
  (no code object) at line 0
  File "<console>", line 2
SyntaxError: Lexical error at line 2, column 0.  Encountered: <EOF> after
: ""
###

Triple quoted strings work if Jython is being run non-interactively, so
it's probably something strange with the parsing of interactive
expressions.

I've tested this on Jython 2.1, although I haven't tried it on the CVS
tree yet.



Thanks for any help!
