[issue12252] '\u' in unicode raw string raise an syntax error

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amauryfa at gmail.com> added the comment:

Even in "raw" unicode strings, \u is processed as an escape sequence; see the very last paragraph of
http://docs.python.org/reference/lexical_analysis.html#string-literals

Yes, this can be surprising, and was changed with Python 3.
Python 2 versions can't be changed for compatibility reasons.
