Replace all '\[]' slice strings with '['

[joshmoore]

In Python 3, the doc strings of Python modules are unicode and the initial slash is interpreted as an invalid escape sequence:

target/IceImport.py:22: in load
    __import__(target)
E     File "/py/target/omero_Scripts_ice.py", line 454
E       """
E        ^
E   SyntaxError: invalid escape sequence \[

Main downside of this approach that the generated Sphinx API docs does not seem to unescape the [

The only other alternative to this proposal I found of would be to generate raw docstrings which should handle backslahes - see the last paragraph of https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/#what-is-a-docstring. I have not looked into whether this is something that can be achieved without great efforts either in slice2py and/or in some post-processing step.

Odd. In my testing, barring the r""", the lbrack was the only thing that was properly rendered.

Latest seems to be fine without this. Closing.
