It means you have to always triple quote your raw strings or know in advance of writing the regular expression which of r'', r"", r'''''', r"""""" is most appropriate. The way it works at the moment you don't have to care, you just write the raw string knowing that with r'' you have to escape single quotes, r"" you have to escape double quotes and everything works as expected. Its only when you start trying to use raw strings for things other than regular expressions that backslash at the end of the string can be a problem. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
