As the documentation says:
Character escapes
Numbered Groups: \0 \1 \2 \3 ...
Named groups: \g<name>
Numbered groups with explicit termination of the number: \g<0> \g<1> ...
But it doesn't matter what the complete list is. All of the escapes start
with \ so doubling all the \\ will prevent any of them being interpreted as
special so if you aren't wanting to substitute any groups into the string
just try repl.replace('\\', r'\\')
