Dear Maintainer,

    * What led up to the situation?

      I ran de-macro under Python 3.13.5, I'm using it on Linux Mint
Debian Edition 7

    * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
      ineffective)?

      Just executing the Python script /usr/bin/de-macro

    * What was the outcome of this action?

/usr/bin/de-macro:205: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\ '
   (without the \ ), type 3 means comment.
/usr/bin/de-macro:429: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\i'
   """We have just read an \input token.  The next group or word will be
/usr/bin/de-macro:477: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\i'
   It may interpret and carry out all \input commands.
/usr/bin/de-macro:539: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\i'
   If the list contains an \input{file} then the content of file
/usr/bin/de-macro:817: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\e'
   Return 1 if \begin, -1 if \end, 0 otherwise.
/usr/bin/de-macro:1054: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\i'
   \input{file} is added to the token list.

    * What outcome did you expect instead?

    No warnings.

Please, find a patch file as well as the Python script included in the
above package attached to this email. Many thanks for any help

Best wishes,
Mario
