New submission from Neil Roques:
Python's raw strings are supposed to prevent characters being
interpreted as special. However entering the raw string r'\' into an
interactive session will result in:
Traceback ( File "<interactive input>", line 1
r'\'
^
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning single-quoted string
Python seems to have escaped the close of the string, even though raw
strings are not supposed to ever escape characters.
