SyntaxError: invalid escape sequence

[steven-81]

With Python 3.7 there is an issue with invalid escape characters (see error message below).

from pyppeteer.us_keyboard_layout import keyDefinitions
E File "/Users/xxxxx/.virtualenvs/xxxxxx/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pyppeteer/us_keyboard_layout.py", line 73
E 'Digit9': {'keyCode': 57, 'code': 'Digit9', 'shiftKey': '(', 'key': '9'},
E ^
E SyntaxError: invalid escape sequence (

Current work around is making a raw string.

Some more invalid escape sequence warnings in Python 3.8

find . -iname '*.py'  | xargs -P 4 -I{} python3.8 -Wall -m py_compile {}

Hi @steven-81, it looks like this project has been abandoned. You may want to consider the active fork pyppeteer2. Feel free to create an issue there if your problem persists with the updated libary.

I know for a fact that us_keyboard_definitions.py has been updated in the fork, no idea when the update will land on PyPi though, and no idea if this issue has been fixed, I will take a look into it.
