Hi,
after the update from 3.39.1 to 3.44 I noticed that one of my recipes failed to load.
The reason is that the recipe contains a windows path stored as a raw string literal, e.g. r"C:\Users\foo\Dropbox"
I can work around the bug by using "C:\\Users\\foo\\Dropbox" instead, but as this is a regression I think it should be fixed in Calibre instead.
Here is a small bogus recipe which shows this issue when loaded in Calibre 3.44 (32bit Windows version):
The error reported by Calibre is:
