the "r" prefix doesn't change how string literals are parsed; it
Doh. that example was supposed to be ->
>>> r'I can\'t end strings with a \.'
"I can\\'t end strings with a \\."

This URL has a good section on raw strings.

r'\' is wrong because raw strings were originally added to make
regular expressions easier to write. And you can't have a regexp that
ends with \.
Also, you can use the \ to escape your original quote c
>>> r'\'
File "", line 1
r'\'
^
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning single-quoted string
>>> r'\\'
''
Does that seem wrong to anybody else? Shouldn't the first one be
syntactically correct?
