[issue36911] ast.parse outputs ast.Strs which do not differentiate between the ASCII codepoint 12 (literal new line) and the ASCII codepoints 134 and 156 ("\n")

I agree with Mark: the string is being correctly interpreted by the AST parser, per Python's tokenizer rules.

You might want to look at lib2to3, which I think is also used by black. It's also possible that mypy or another static analyzer would be using some library you can leverage.
