How do I write a triple-quoted string that ends with a backslash?

The same way you write a normal string that ends in a backslash; double
it up, eg. """abc\\""".

Don't be fooled by

>>> """asd\\"""
'asd\\'

in the interpreter; if you want to see the string properly, you should
do:

>>> print """asd\\"""
asd\
