There is a "^L" character in line 25 of the Lib/email/generator.py file, and it seems it's there for a long time (since commit 8b3febef2f9). Is it intended or some carelessness? It does not seem to have any functional impact, though. |

It is intended. Emacs use it for separating sections of code. Python parser specially supports this character. |

That's a "form feed" or "page break" character: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_break Quoting that page: "The form feed character is sometimes used in plain text files of source code as a delimiter for a page break, or as marker for sections of code. Some editors, in particular emacs and vi, have built-in commands to page up/down on the form feed character. This convention is predominantly used in Lisp code, and is also seen in C and Python source code." It's perhaps a bit old-fashioned, but some of us are old-fashioned kinds of people :-). |
