I've cloned latest trunk, installed using python setup.py install 
and executed: 

$ roundup-admin -i test install jinja2

Which have me the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pokoli/.virtualenvs/roundup/lib/python3.7/sre_parse.py",
line 1021, in parse_template
    this = chr(ESCAPES[this][1])
KeyError: '\\w'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
