There is quite a bit of Python's lexical analysis that is specified in places other than the formal notation. That does not mean it is undefined. It is well defined in the lexer code and the documentation. You suggest that a "rule probably should be added to the lexer to make this explicit." That is not necessary. The rule is already there. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
