Nope. From the spec:
“Unlike Standard C, all unrecognized escape sequences are left in the string unchanged, i.e., the backslash is left in the result.”

This behavior is useful when debugging: if an escape sequence is mistyped, the resulting output is more easily recognized as broken.
Wow, this sentence really threw me for a moment. I had no idea how other programming languages behave.
…which makes sense, because they don’t. The compiler just tells you to fuck off and that’s the end of that story. I guess, they can’t do that in Python…
