[New-bugs-announce] [issue14161] python2 file __repr__ does not escape filename

[Ronny Pfannschmidt]

New submission from Ronny Pfannschmidt <ronny.pfannschmidt at gmail.com>:

behaviour:
>>> name = 'woo\raa'
>>> open(name, 'w')
aa', mode 'w' at 0x295a8a0>

expected:
>>> name = 'woo\raa'
>>> open(name, 'w')
<open file 'woo\raa', mode 'w' at 0x295a8a0>

note:
don't ask why i tried this chunk of code in the first place
