Use r-string to avoid raising Python 3 SyntaxError

file() was removed in Python 3 (en masse)

Revert "Add multi-GPU to MNIST, take two (#3199)"

This reverts commit e8726907.

In Python 2 the string and the r-string behave the same:
$ __python2__
```
>>> '$\Uparrow$ '
'$\\Uparrow$ '
>>> r'$\Uparrow$ '
'$\\Uparrow$ '
>>> '$\Uparrow$ ' == r'$\Uparrow$ '
True
```

In Python 3 the string raises a Syntax Error while the r-string works just like Python 2.
```
>>> '$\Uparrow$ '
  File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 1-2: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape
>>> r'$\Uparrow$ '
'$\\Uparrow$ '
```

Add astronet directory and a temporary README.md
