Parse fails for triple quotes in assert

I have a test run for a PyPy builtin module that asserts a multiline string.

assert text == """
...
""" % info

Running the test fails in this form parsing the test source, but when separating the expected string into a variable avoids the failure.

Failure output:

This problem is not there for plain py.test because it treats comparing multiline strings differently anyway. PyPy still uses 1.3.4 however. We have to see if this problem persists when py.test version is updated in pypy.

pytest has been updated in pypy - i am closing this issue unless you say the problem is still there.
