sage -t problems with semicolons and line breaks

[davidp]

On the file test.py, consisting of

"""
EXAMPLES::

sage: gcd(4,6);
sage: a = {1:'a',
2:'b'}
"""

running sage -t produces two error messages (see below). Is it true
that sage -t does not recognize semicolons and does not parse line
breaks correctly? (Cutting and pasting the code in the examples into
sage produces no errors.)

Thanks,
Dave

It seems so, but if you specify the line break using a backslash then
it works ok:

"""
EXAMPLES::
sage: gcd(4,6);
2

sage: a = {1:'a', \
2:'b'}

"""

$ sage -t test.py
sage -t "test.py"
[1.7 s]

----------------------------------------------------------------------
All tests passed!
Total time for all tests: 1.7 seconds

This is a little inconsistent because Python is happy with that line
break without a backslash...
