Ok, banning ru"..." and ur"..." altogether is fine too (assuming it's fine with the originators of the PEP).

The original PEP never proposed ur or ru , only u/U. It turns out that ur is problematical even in 2.x, as its meaning is changed by the future import. 2&3 code should skip the convenience of the r prefix and just use u and doubled \s. The PEP should probably say that. -- Terry Jan Reedy
