You need to use raw strings to avoid this. Replace

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38\lib\release\lib"

with

    r"C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38\lib\release\lib"

See https://blog.lerner.co.il/avoiding-windows-backslash-problems-with-pythons-raw-strings/ for more details about raw strings.
