    cleanup: remove pointless r-prefixes on single-quoted strings · 9f70512ae2cf
    Augie Fackler authored
    This is the promised second step on single-quoted strings. These had
    existed because our source transformer didn't turn r'' into b'', so we
    had tagged some strings as r-strings to get "native" strings on both
    Pythons. Now that the transformer is gone, we can dispense with this
    nonsense.
    
    Methodology:
    
    I ran
    
        hg locate 'set:added() or modified() or clean()' | egrep '.*\.py$'  | xargs egrep --color=never -n  -- \[\^b\]\[\^a-z\]r\'\[\^\'\\\\\]\*\'\[\^\'\
    
    in an emacs grep-mode buffer, and then used a keyboard macro to
    iterate over the results and remove the r prefix as needed.
    
    # skip-blame removing unneeded r prefixes left over from Python 3 migration.
