SyntaxError: invalid syntax
A raw string can't end in a single backslash (something that
occasionally annoys me, but I've learned to deal with it).

SyntaxError: EOL while scanning single-quoted string
My guess is that the parser sees the first call as
abc.replace(
r"r\'r" <-- how your single-quoted is interpreted
z' <-- the leftovers that cause the syntax error
)
