I guess not:

http://docs.python.org/reference/lexical_analysis.html#string-literals

Wonder why when I do print "test\Ttest" vs print "test\ttest"  \T just
get printed?

Because "\T" has no special meaning, so is just a two character sequence
like any other in the literal.  'print' just prints the string.

print repr("test\Ttest"), repr("test\ttest")

might be illuminating?
