Now I've found also an FAQ item for this exact topic in the docs: https://docs.python.org/3/faq/design.html#why-can-t-raw-strings-r-strings-en... Wonder why it doesn't google well. Regards, Maciej wt., 7 mar 2023 o 17:02 <garfield@garfieldhudson.com> napisał(a):

Hi Garfield,
Backslash is always an escape character, even in the raw string. The r prefix makes the original backslash and following character appear in the char sequence (instead of being interpreted).
Refer to the following:

Hi guys,
Is this a bug with raw strings? If the last character of the string is a backslash, I get an unterminated string error. If I add another character, the error goes away. I thought that the r prefix rendered everything within the quotes as literals.
Thanks,
Garfield.
