Multiple syntax warnings

[saltasatelites]

Hello. I just reinstalled smbmap (haven't been playing CTF for a while) and am getting a lot of syntax warnings. Running on Arch Linux with the latest updates and with all dependencies installed by Pacman. Smbmap cloned from GitHub. Smbmap works as expected. The warnings appear before SMBMAP starts running.. I've also run it in a Python environment with the same results. Python version 3.12.3

Thanks in advance

Weird, I just pushed a fresh update (1.10.3). You could try updating, but I didn't address any errors like you observed. I'll try to reproduce your errors and keep you posted. Thanks for the bug report!

I think this is related more specifically to Python 3.12+ and I'm doing dev in 3.10.12. According to Stack I'm a bit loose with escaping characters, which results in the SyntaxWarnings. I'll stand-up a VM with 3.12 and see what I get. Thanks again!

It has become syntax error since Python 3.12, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/77531416.

Hello. Thanks @ShawnDEvans @r4um. I've just read the link to Stack and I guess it solves this ssue. I close it as completed.

I ended up pushing a few changes to address the wonky escape sequences. Should be AOK in 3.12 now.

All syntax warning have disappeared with the last update. Thanks a lot !!
