compile_filter() does not allow quote escaping for constant strings

[miracle2k]

{{ "abc \" def" }}
{% mytag with value="abc \" def" %}

In both cases, Parser.compile_filter().resolve() will return the string as

abc \" def

Actually, FilterExpression.init() in django.template, which does the parsing, calls

constant_arg.replace(r'\"', '"'))

when resolving the filter part of the expression - but not for the variable part.

A workaround is:

0|default:"abc \" def"

Seems to work for me...

>>> from django.template import *
>>> c = Context()
>>> t = Template(r'{{ "test \" me" }}')
>>> t.render(c)
u'test " me'

Want to make up some tests which show your problem and reopen?

I'm fairly sure that the difference between the original reporter's observation and Chris' is because the latter's checkout is more up to date. This was only fixed in [6724] (a few hours ago).
