[New-bugs-announce] [issue29104] Left bracket remains in format string result when '\' preceeds it

[Jim Fasarakis-Hilliard]

New submission from Jim Fasarakis-Hilliard:

In short:

    >>> f"\{10}"

yields:

    "\\{10"

This is reproducible only when `\` precedes the opening bracket, that is:

    >>> f"\ {10}"

results in: "\\ 10"
