hi,

On http://docs.python.org/ref/strings.html we find
longstring ::= "'''" longstringitem* "'''" | '"""' longstringitem* '"""'
(correct),

but,

on http://docs.python.org/dev/reference/lexical_analysis.html#id7
we find:
                v                    v
longstring ::= ""'" longstringitem* ""'" | '"""' longstringitem* '"""'
                ^                    ^
(not correct, i think(?)).
