Redundant character escape '\/' in RegExp

Reason

if you got this warning, it means you used too many \ symbols, the  / characters in the regular expression do not need to be escaped with \/.

Solution

I got this problem in my Pycharm IDE when I was learning Ryan Mithcell's book about web scratching, at where we try to match some pictures in a web page, we would use:

imges = bs.findAll('img', {'src':re.compile('\.\.\/img\/gifts\/img.*\.jpg')})

however, there is no need to escape these \s here:

imges = bs.findAll('img', {'src':re.compile('\.\./img/gifts/img.*\.jpg')})

Anyway, both worked well if you test them, except you don't want to get reminders from Pycharm or any other IDEs, the second one would be suitable and shorter for you.
