Backslash after line continuation causes error in gvim

Hi,

I just started learning vim and use gvim on Windows as suggested on vim portal.

Now if I load Python file, python.vim script is triggered from ftplugin folder and errors on line that uses backslash which I assume is supposed to play role of line continuation character.

For example this is the line where plugin fails:

let b:browsefilter = "Python Files (*.py)\t*.py\n" .
\ "All Files (*.*)\t*.*\n"

with error: "\ should be followed by /, ? or &"

I noticed the cause on trial and error, and now I see that any vim script that has backslash as line continuation fails.

What to do? Doing regex replace ("\r?\n +\\") is not good as I don't want to do that on every script I intend to use. Plus that's not all - it fails also on:

nnoremap <silent> <buffer> ]] :call <SID>Python_jump('/^\(class\\|def\)')<cr>

with error: "Not an editor command: def\)')<cr>"


I expect that there must be some setting which could save me the trouble of correcting this issue over and over again.


Thanks
