Hi,
is any equivalent to perl quotemeta function in python?
I know that I can use this on string: r'\\test'
but I need to do this on the variable
Thanks in advance

your example is a string literal, which isn't really the same thing as
a RE pattern in Python.

#strings are enclosed in double quotes quotes. e.g.
a=this and that

#One can use r for raw string.
c=rthis\n\
and that
print c
#To avoid the backslash escape, one can use triple double
