New submission from Chris Seto:

Expected behavior:
~ ❯❯❯ pyenv shell 3.5.2
~ ❯❯❯ python --version
Python 3.5.2
~ ❯❯❯ python
Python 3.5.2 (default, Oct 24 2016, 00:12:20)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 8.0.0 (clang-800.0.38)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import re
>>> re.compile('[^\B]')
re.compile('[^\\B]')
>>> re.compile(r'[^\B]')
re.compile('[^\\B]')

Actual:
~ ❯❯❯ pyenv shell 3.6.0
~ ❯❯❯ python --version
Python 3.6.0
~ ❯❯❯ python
Python 3.6.0 (default, Apr 26 2017, 17:24:07)
