What is wrong with this case? If you are concerned about the multiple
backslashes, they are there because they are special symbols, and so they
have to be escaped (you actually want a backslash, not whatever else they
could mean).

Depending on what else is on the file, you may be better off reading the
file in pure python. Assuming there is nothing else, something like this
would work:

[line.strip() for line in open(filePath, 'r').readlines()]
