Package: python3-vcf
Version: 0.6.8+git20170215.476169c-10
Severity: minor
Tags: newcomer upstream

While installing python3-vcf, I noticed the following Python
SyntaxWarning in the installation output:

	Setting up python3-vcf (0.6.8+git20170215.476169c-10+b1) ...
	/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/vcf/parser.py:278: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\['
	  self._alt_pattern = re.compile('[\[\]]')
	/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/vcf/parser.py:536: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\['
	  remoteOrientation = (re.search('\[', str) is not None)

Converting the affected regexes to raw strings (r'…') would
probably be the way to go to fix this minor issue.

Have a nice day,  :)
