flake8-invalid-escape-sequences

-------------------------------

A plugin for flake8 (v3+) that detects and reports invalid escape sequences.

Note: This plugin is not required anymore if you've upgraded to ``pycodestyle 2.4.0`` (released Apr 10, 2018). ``pycodestyle`` now issues `W605  `_

warning for invalid escape sequences.

Introduction

------------

Invalid escape sequences `became deprecated in Python 3.6 `_ and will be a SyntaxError in the future.

This plugin finds those invalid sequences and reports them. Here is a sample output:

.. code-block:: bash

    test_case.py:5:12: IES: invalid escape sequence \[

Installation

------------

.. code-block:: bash

  pip install flake8-invalid-escape-sequences

Should work with all officially supported Python versions, including

Python 2.7.
