In Python strings, the backslash "\" is a special character, also called the "escape" character. It is used in representing certain whitespace characters: "\t" is a tab, "\n" is a newline, and "\r" is a carriage return.
Put an r in front of the string to make it a raw string it will then treat the "\" as normal "\".
