Why is there an 'r' before some docstrings? #27

Closed ReblochonMasque closed 6 years ago

ReblochonMasque commented 6 years ago

I noticed some docstrings start with an r prior to the triple quotes; what is the reason?

class Widget:  
    r"""a class to represent widgets
    """

There were some packages that worked better at one time with raw strings. I no longer believe that is the case, so I am generally removing the r in most places, but I'm not doing it proactively.
