Re: Correct syntax for pathological re.search()

For now, I'll use the "r" in a cargo-cult fashion, until I decide which
syntax I prefer. (Is there any reason that one or the other is preferable?)

  I'd totally go with the r-style notation!

  It's got one bummer though - you can't end such a string literal with
  a backslash. But hey, no biggie, you could use one of those notations:

  main.py

path = r'C:\Windows\example' + '\'

print( path )
   
path = r'''
C:\Windows\example\
'''.strip()

print( path )

  stdout

C:\Windows\example\
C:\Windows\example\
