The regex sets (\d\w\s\D\W\S) don't match any Python escape sequence, so even 
if some suggest to always use r'' regardless, I don't find it necessary, 
especially for simple regexs.
The two conflicting escape sequences to keep in mind are \b (backspace for 
Python, word boundary for re) and \number (octal escape for Python, reference 
to a group for re).
There are also other regex escape sequences that are rarely used (\B\A\Z), but 
these don't need to be escaped either.
