Backslash frowned upon?

[wxPythoner]

Why is the \ backslash character frowned upon? Can I still use it in
Python 3.0 to achieve the same thing it was designed to do?

Uh... where do you get your (mis)information about 3.0?
See http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/whatsnew/3.0.html

Yes, it's still valid to use in a script.

See http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/whatsnew/3.0.html for the big changes
coming with 3.0

Many people think it looks ugly, but it still works, and there are times
when nothing else will do, so it should continue to work for the
foreseeable future.
