+# - ignores comments: both /* ... */ and // ...
+# - parses string literals (even if they contain \" escapes)
+# - concatenates adjacent string literals

Do you intentionally tokenize yourself? I figured Python had dozens of libraries doing this for us.
Did you try to avoid 3rd party deps by this?
