Deprecating this rule.
|

|

It raises many issues and most of them look like False Positives. The most common false positives are strings containing regular expressions. Example:
|
||
|
||
----
|
||
import re
|
||
re.sub('\(', '[', '(test)') # False Positive
|
||
----
|
||
This rule raises 380+ issues just on Pypy.
|

|

We could try to reduce the number of false positives by focusing only on strings passed to functions which do not use backslashes, such as ``++print++`` or ``++Exception++``, but the value seems to be low. The worst that could happen is that the backslash is displayed as part of the string or that a few characters are misinterpreted:
