Hi all, Whenever I take any input (raw_input, of course!) or I read from a file, etc., any backslashes get escaped automatically.
Python never escapes backslashes when reading from raw_input or files. Python only ever escapes backslashes when displaying data on the interactive shell since the interactive shell uses __repr__ by default.
Is there any elegant way of parsing the backslashes as though they were written in a python string. The best I have so far right now goes like this:
