It is hard to determine what category is better for this warnings: 
DeprecationWarning or SyntaxWarning. On one hand, SyntaxWarning looks 
more appropriate since the warning is generated by the Python parser. On 
other hand, numerous warnings can confuse end users of Python 
applications, and DeprecationWarning is silenced by default.

This warning is a special case. When it is converted to an error, it 
becomes a SyntaxError, because the latter contains information about 
location of an invalid escape sequence, and produces better error report 
(containing source line, cursor, etc).
