According to http://www.graphviz.org/doc/info/lang.html, an ID can be:
...
'any double-quoted string ("...") possibly containing escaped quotes (\")1;'
pydot does not properly read double quoted strings with escaped quotes
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. pydot.graph_from_dot_data("graph G { a [test=\"\\\"escaped quotes\\\"\"] }")
or
1. create the following DOT file:
graph G {
a [test="\"escaped quotes\""]
}
2. pydot.graph_from_dot_file("file.dot")
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected output: <pydot.Dot object at 0xb483de8c>
output:
graph G { a [test="\"escaped quotes\""] }
^
Expected "}" (at char 12), (line:1, col:13)
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
pydot 1.0.28; Python 2.7.3; Gentoo/Linux 3.0.6
