Python 3.12 and 3.13 emit "SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence" #7
Description
Similar to https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/4158 and tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs#1427:
From https://stackoverflow.com/a/77531416/1181063:
Back in Python 3.6, using invalid escape sequences in string literals was deprecated (bpo-27364). Since then, attempting to use an invalid escape sequence has emitted a DeprecationWarning. This can often go unnoticed if you don't run Python with warnings enabled. DeprecationWarnings are silenced by default.
Python 3.12 upgraded the DeprecationWarning to a SyntaxWarning. SyntaxWarnings are emitted by the compiler when the code is parsed, not when it's being run, so they cannot be ignored using a runtime warning filter. Unlike DeprecationWarnings, SyntaxWarnings are displayed by default, which is why you're seeing it now. This increase in visibility was intentional. In a future version of Python, using invalid escape sequences in string literals is planned to eventually become a hard SyntaxError.
