bpo-40847: Consider a line with only a LINECONT a blank line#20769
Merged
Conversation
A line with only a line continuation character should be considered a blank line at tokenizer level, so that only a single NEWLINE token gets emitted. The old parser was working around the issue, but the new parser threw a `SyntaxError` for valid input. For example, an empty line following a line continuation character was interpreted as a `SyntaxError`.

Should we also backport this to the other bug-fix branches? |

Only to 3.9. Who knows what else it breaks... |

@pablogsal I didn't like the blurb text before, so I changed it up a bit. Could you review it once more, please? |
