non-printable chars

[anazarkin1]

Hi guys!

Found an issue with astor when working with non printable chars in string. For example code below yields an error:

old_source="""
def write(self, param):
    if param=='\n':
        return;
"""
tree = ast.parse(old_source)
new_source = to_source(tree)
print(new_source)

Error: if param==' ^ SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal.

And thanks for astor, it's really useful!

Thanks for the report!

Hi, the above example fails because ast.parse() is failing. However trying to intepret oldsource as a raw string oldsource=r'def write.. or escaping the \ seems working

Yeah, this is not a bug, but user error :D.
