Invalid python escape sequence in azure resource graph extension

[bb-froggy]

Describe the bug

In python, spaces need no escaping, but I've heard that only newer versions of python complain if you do it anyway, i.e. use '\ ' in a string. _models_py3.py of the resource graph extension seems to contain such escape sequences, though: In line 58, 62, 1201, and 1205. Some az commands now print a warning because of this in my environment, although that hasn't happened in the past and I cannot reproduce it in all environments. I assume it depends on the python version used.
