(bug?) error for raw strings that contain \ at the end

[victorel-petrovich]

This pythonscript:

s = r"this is  a string using a \"
console.write(s)

Produces error:

  File "...\npp.8.5.4.portable\plugins\Config\PythonScript\scripts\test.py", line 3
    s = r"this is  a string using a \"
                                     ^
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal

Same error with print(s) though.

Also same error when just define the line s = r"this is a string using a \" at the console command-line (and click Run)

Ah, no, it's a documented thing with raw strings in python:

a backslash, \, is taken as meaning "just a backslash" (except when it comes right before a quote that would otherwise terminate the literal)
