Fixes #259.

The query text went into a plain Python literal, so Python read every escape it recognises before the SQL ever reached the driver. LIKE 'a\tb' was sent with a tab, 'C:\name' with a newline, and REGEXP '\d+' only survived by accident - an escape Python does not know is a SyntaxWarning now and a SyntaxError later. The docstring repeating the SQL had the same problem.

Query text with a backslash is now emitted as a raw literal, constant and docstring alike. Escaping would not work for the docstring - ruff D301 wants the r prefix whatever the backslash spells - so one rule covers both. Safe because the closing delimiter always sits on its own line, so the text can never end in a backslash. Text without a backslash keeps the plain literal, which is why no existing fixture moves.

Fixtures for sqlite3, pymysql and psycopg_sync, since a backslash means something different in each engine and each runs its own placeholder rewrite over the same text. Checked they actually catch it: stripping the r prefixes back off makes the sqlite test fail with assert 'a\tb\\d+' == 'a\\tb\\d+'.

Left out: SQL containing """ still breaks the generated file. Separate mechanism, filed as #261.

The query text went into a plain Python literal, so Python read every
escape it recognises before the SQL ever reached the driver: "a\tb" was
sent with a tab, "C:\name" with a newline, and "\d+" survived only by
accident - an escape Python does not know is a SyntaxWarning today and a
SyntaxError in a later version. The docstring that repeats the SQL had
the same problem.

Query text holding a backslash is now emitted as a raw literal, in both
places. Escaping is not an option for the docstring: ruff D301 wants the
raw prefix whatever the backslash spells, so one rule covers both. It is
safe because both emitters put the closing delimiter on its own line, so
the text can never end in a backslash. Text without a backslash keeps the
plain literal, which is why no existing fixture moves.

Fixtures for sqlite3, pymysql and psycopg_sync: a backslash means
something different in each engine, and each runs its own placeholder
rewrite over the same text.

Closes #259

Codecov Report

✅ All modified and coverable lines are covered by tests.

📢 Thoughts on this report? Let us know!

Every :one function generates a "row is None" branch, and the new tests
only ever hit rows. Give the sqlite and MySQL pattern query a row to miss
and assert both queries return None for an absent id; on psycopg, whose
queries take no table, drive the same branch through NoRowConn.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Added writer.PyRawPrefix and applied it to generated SQL constants and query-function docstrings when SQL contains backslashes. Added unit and rendering tests for raw literals. Added PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite fixtures and driver tests for backslash preservation. Updated Python plugin checksums and added a changelog entry.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 2b286

The PR preserves backslashes in generated SQL literals and docstrings across the covered drivers. A minor test-comment wording correction remains, but it does not affect runtime behavior, so no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

It is not dropped: Python leaves an escape it does not know as the two
characters it wrote, with an invalid-escape warning that a later version
turns into an error. Only "\t" and friends are rewritten.
