Description

When using azure-devops 7.1.0b4 with Python 3.12 i'm getting this warning:

/agent/_work/1/s/xxx/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/azure/devops/v7_1/feed/models.py:58: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence ',' (" \ , ")
:param name: A name for the feed. feed names must follow these rules: Must not exceed 64 characters Must not contain whitespaces Must not start with an underscore or a period Must not end with a period Must not contain any of the following illegal characters: , |, /, \\, ?, :, &, $, *, \", #, [, ] ]]>

The issue was not experienced before when using azure-devops 7.1.0b4 with Python 3.10

Could you please advice how to resolve it ?

Research direction

Reproduce the warning with Python 3.12 using azure-devops 7.1.0b4, then inspect azure/devops/v7_1/feed/models.py around line 58 and compare the generated documentation text with the Python 3.10 behavior. Done means the invalid escape sequence warning no longer appears while the feed model documentation remains correct.
