Hello

I was juste browsing the source to see how parse function is implemented
and I found this before the docstring

def parse(handle, format, alphabet=None):
    r"""Turns a sequence file into an iterator returning SeqRecords.

     - handle   - handle to the file, or the filename as a string
                  (note older versions of Biopython only took a handle).
     - format   - lower case string describing the file format.
     - alphabet - optional Alphabet object, useful when the sequence type
                  cannot be automatically inferred from the file itself
                  (e.g. format="fasta" or "tab")

    Typical usage, opening a file to read in, and looping over the record(s):

there is an r before the """

is that a typo ?
