pytest-profiling: Invalid Escape Sequence Causes SyntaxWarning in Python 3.12

[PeterParker]

I'm seeing the following warning in Python 3.12, which does not like the \: escape sequence:

/usr/local/sis/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pytest_profiling.py:20: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\:'
  forbidden_chars = set('/?<>\:*|"')

[PeterParker]

I believe changing the quoted line to the following will fix the warning:

forbidden_chars = set('/?<>\\:*|"')

I.e., the backslash needs to be escaped with a backslash.

Or, use a raw string literal:

forbidden_chars = set(r'/?<>\:*|"')

Looks fixed already, I think?

It was fixed in code in 2020, but the last release was in 2019.

This has been released as part of 1.8.0, please raise another issue if this persists!

Enabling this with Python 3.12 and pytest 8 leads to this failure:

Thanks @offbyone , looks like a different error. We'll address in #229
