Issue222805

The following kinds of multi-line statements work if written in
an imported module:

s = (
'Hello, world.'
)

s = \
'Hello, world.'

i = (
3+ 4
}

i = \
3 + 4

All of them fail in the JPython interpreter as soon as the first line is typed
in.

Is multi-line functionality supposed to be supported in the interactive
interpreter?

Should be fixed, but the grammar is tricky. Also look at bug 122813 which have another situation where the problem occurs.

Multiline strings also fail in the Jython interpreter with a
similar error message.
