That's actually a raw string, so that the \ in it won't need to be escaped. https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#string-and-bytes-literals

It was added in 98ab7bbd94eae05b1d393a61c6fdc1f042a15e88.

AFAICT, it should work even in python2. https://docs.python.org/2/reference/lexical_analysis.html#string-literals

Is it creating a problem?

Not that I can tell, at least not for what I was using the SDK for. It was just something that was noticed, but I didn't realize it had a reason to be there :)
