Public bug reported:
upon installing xdiagnose, the following error message appears (abridged):
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/xdiagnose/applet.py:185: SyntaxWarning: invalid
es
cape sequence '\w'
re_kparam = re.compile("^([\w\.]+)=(.*)")
The reason seems to be that python 3.12 changed the interpretation of
backslash escapes - previously (up to 3.11) invalid backslash escapes
would be parsed as a backslash followed by the character, i.e. '\w'
would be read as '\\w'. In 3.12, '\w' is a syntax error.
