I noticed this since I'm running Python 3.12-rc3, which emits
"SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\#'" when running this script.
According to the Python 3.12 release notes this will eventually become a
SyntaxError.
Based on the comment in the code, I believe the intention was to match
the literal string "\#". Marking it as a raw string will stop Python
from trying to treat it as an escape sequence and behave as intended.

Thanks for the patch, it looks good to me.

Just a heads up, you are not the first person to see this and send a
patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/[email protected]/
But as far as I can tell, there is no movement on that changeset, so if
Masahiro is able to pick this up, that would still be good. Masahiro,
the original change is available at
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/,
if you are able to apply it that way.
