Backslashes escape characters in strings. Specifically, when a string uses ""
quotes as delimiters, then \" is the escape sequence for a double quote in the
string itself. The parser sees your \" at the end as simply an escaped double
quote and keeps interpreting the rest of the line as a string. Since the line
ends before another, unescaped " comes along, it raises the exception that you
see.
