[New-bugs-announce] [issue2541] Unicode escape sequences not parsed in raw strings.

[John Millikin]

New submission from John Millikin <jmillikin at gmail.com>:

According to
<http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/reference/lexical_analysis.html#id9>,
raw strings with \u and \U escape sequences should have these sequences
parsed as usual. However, they are currently escaped.

>>> r'\u0020'
'\\u0020'

Expected:
>>> r'\u0020'
' '
