raw strings under windows

[Cecil H. Whitley]

Hi,
When doing the following:

#!/usr/bin/env python

path = r"c:\python23\"

I get a syntax error, unexpected EOL with singlequoted string.  It was my
(mis?) understanding that raw strings did not process escaped characters?
Of course
path = "c:\\python23\\"

works just fine.

Regards,
