python 原始字符串以\结尾报错EOL while scanning string literal

今天写个脚本定义了一个字符串lbmdir63 = r'C:\svn\Test\lbm\'报错EOL while scanning string literal，虽然很好找到是\转义的问题，但是很不理解为什么原始字符串会有转义问题，在网上查阅之后原来是python解释器的缺陷

String quotes can be escaped with a backslash, but the backslash
remains in the string; for example, r"\"" is a valid string literal
consisting of two characters: a backslash and a double quote; r"\" is
not a valid string literal (even a raw string cannot end in an odd
number of backslashes). Specifically, a raw string cannot end in a single backslash (since the backslash would escape the following quote character).
