Deprecation warning due to invalid escape sequences

[tirkarthi]

Deprecation warnings are raised due to invalid escape sequences. This can be fixed by using raw strings or escaping the literals. pyupgrade also helps in automatic conversion : https://github.com/asottile/pyupgrade/

find . -iname '*.py' | grep -Ev 'vendor|example|doc|tools|sphinx' | xargs -P4 -I{} python3.8 -Wall -m py_compile {}
./setup.py:21: DeprecationWarning: invalid escape sequence \d
  return re.findall("__version__ = '([\d\.]+)'",

@tanmoydas9166 thanks for picking up this issue. I had a look at open PRs but sadly I cannot find the one from you. Did you actually create one? It's not enough to only push the changes to your own fork.
