I Have text and I want to use regex expression to find all words come after (Africa is): my code

pattern = r'\africa\sis\s\w+'

re.findall(pattern,a)

the results should contain africa is (some words)

but I got this error

error: bad escape \i at position 0

You should not escape `a` – Wiktor Stribiżew May 13 '20 at 11:28
Only escape special characters. As per [docs](https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html#regular-expression-syntax), *hanged in version 3.6: Unknown escapes in pattern consisting of '\' and an ASCII letter now are errors* – Wiktor Stribiżew May 13 '20 at 11:29
