Not quite.

SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal
In a raw string, the backslash is buggy (IMNSHO) when it's the last character. Given the above error, you might think
that to get a single-quote in a string delimited by single-quotes that you would use r'\'', but no:
--> r'\''
"\\'"
you get a backslash and a single-quote. And if you try to escape the backslash
to get only one?
--> r'\\'
'\\\\'
You get two. Grrrr.
