Geoff Cutter noticed via docs@ that escape is not defined in the glossary. I concur with the idea of adding it, opening as an "easy" issue, even if finding a good definition might not be that easy. |

There are many "escape"; JSON, HTML, SQL, Python string literal, ESC-key, escape sequence in the terminal, etc... Is there a consistent meaning of "escape" in the context of Python? |

For the reasons mentioned by Inada, I don't think this should be added. The term "escape" means many different things in different contexts. To the extent the term needs to be defined, it should be done in the docs for those contexts (i.e. regular expression escapes should be talked about in the regex docs). Side note: It is not the purpose of the glossary to define every term in computer science. The more fluff we add to the glossary, the harder it becomes to rely the glossary and learn Python specific terms. |

I concur with Raymond. Are there problems with understanding the term "escape" in some context? If yes, then we perhaps need to clarify the corresponding place in the documentation. But if there is a problem with understanding the general word "escape", I think we should not do anything. |

Closing issue, since the consensus is to not add the term. |
