Python: Not needed syntax highlighting for string literals

[jonvanausdeln]

Currently Positron and VSCode still add syntax highlighting to string literal:

In this case, bar is a string literal and will gets automatically escaped correctly by python. I would like to see it not highlight the missing escapes, similiar to how PyCharm does it.

This probably would involve contributing to Jedi (?) upstream.

This is defined in the Python grammar:

positron/extensions/python/syntaxes/MagicPython.tmLanguage.json

Line 1 in cae259e

{

.

Which is vendored from this repo: https://github.com/MagicStack/MagicPython.

I see there's an issue there for this case: MagicStack/MagicPython#259.

This is apparently a feature 😅 MagicStack/MagicPython#114 (comment):

This is a feature.

foo = r'\nregexp'  # this is parsed as a "regexp-string"
bar = R'\nregexp'  # this is parsed as a raw string
