Thank you for the review.

What makes you think it supports Python 3? It seems yet-to-be-released
4.0 will do, but not the stable 3.1.1, AFAIK. In any case, using Python
3, two tests fail in the same manner:

                   try:
                        this = chr(ESCAPES[this][1])
                    except KeyError:
                        if c in ASCIILETTERS:
    >                       raise s.error('bad escape %s' % this, len(this))
    E                       re.error: bad escape \c at position 1
