If you have a raw string with a backslash as the last character, the 
parser thinks the following quote, actually used to mark the end of the 
string, is being quoted by the backslash.  For example, r'\' should be 
the string with one backslash, but...

>>> print r'\'
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning single-quoted string

There seems to have been a fix added to python 3.0 (see issue 1720390), 
but it doesn't look like it's been backtracked into any earlier version.
