I don't think that's what he wants. He's using raw strings and not regular strings and I don't think backslash escaping works in raw strings (which is kinda the point of having them).

The raw string has to be closed with """ . Since he wants to include a final " inside the string as well as the closing """ then he has 4 " at the end.

The interpreter sees """ as a single token leaving a trailing ", causing the error.

I would suggest if you want to do that then use ` quoted strings instead. I think that other scripting languages which have this capability have the same problem.
