Again, I don't know what result you want to see. The characters are
non-printable; what output do you expect?
If you want to see a Python string representation of the input, maybe
the 'repr' function is what you want.
>>> foo = "bar\tbaz\r\n"
>>> print foo
bar baz
>>> print repr(foo)
'bar\tbaz\r\n'
