That was my first idea as well when I reviewed the change, but the
function contains this comment:

    def checkletter(self, name, code):
        # Helper that put all \N escapes inside eval'd raw strings,
        # to make sure this script runs even if the compiler
        # chokes on \N escapes

test_named_sequences_full() checks that unicodedata.lookup() works,
but that checkletter() raises a SyntaxError. Look at the code ;-)
