configparser won't have that problem, since "escaping" is only an issue
for python source code. No escaping for backslashes is necessary in
files read by configparser.

>>> import sys
>>> import configparser
>>> config = configparser.ConfigParser()
>>> config['DEFAULT'] = {'ROOTDIR': r'C:\Users\zoran'}
>>> config.write(sys.stdout)
[DEFAULT]
rootdir = C:\Users\zoran
