This is caused by a change in Python 3.12 (see https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.12.html#other-language-changes)

Should be a pretty easy fix to add and r in front of strings containing escape characters.

Agreed. I wonder if we're going to have to fork this given the lack of response?

[giachello]

I emailed the author on linkedin and he said he'd approve a pull request fixing it. I would do that instead of forking.

[pleasantone]

He approved but never merged a previous pull request. If you're in contact with him, could you ask him to review the pull requests and merge those he agrees with? Otherwise we need to talk about getting new maintainers or forking.
