118 Two or more physical lines may be joined into logical lines using backslash
119 characters (``\``), as follows: when a physical line ends in a backslash that is
121 a single logical line, deleting the backslash and the following end-of-line
129 A line ending in a backslash cannot carry a comment.  A backslash does not
130 continue a comment.  A backslash does not continue a token except for string
132 physical lines using a backslash).  A backslash is illegal elsewhere on a line

602 backslash remains in the result; for example, ``r"\""`` is a valid string
603 literal consisting of two characters: a backslash and a double quote; ``r"\"``
