Escaping them clears out the warnings.

Right, this seems to be a change in Python 3.12 [0][1]:

'A backslash-character pair that is not a valid escape sequence now
generates a SyntaxWarning, instead of DeprecationWarning. For example,
re.compile("\d+\.\d+") now emits a SyntaxWarning ("\d" is an invalid
escape sequence, use raw strings for regular expression:
re.compile(r"\d+\.\d+")).'

although I can't remember seeing any DeprecationWarning before.

Anyway, the fix makes sense, and does address the warnings. Thank you
for this!
