Facundo Batista <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: The "r" prefix changes how the escape sequences are interpreted after the string literal has been parsed, it doesn't change how the literal itself is actually parsed.
Fixing this will imply too much low level work, and it's easily solved in other ways, so it's not foreseeable to change. If you really want to push this, you should propose the change and how to do it in python-ideas or python-dev.
