I'm a little confused about the interpretation/syntax ofregex in python.

According tohttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/2241600/python-regex-r-prefix, the special characters need to be escaped, if the regex is prefixed withr (e.g. r'\w') in order to match something else than the literal string\w. Thus, it should be r\\w.

Therefore, also theregex need to be changed, in order to obtain the same result, don't they?
