There is also an other possible solution. (Kirian Deep Naidu, you have been faster!) my_str = r'hello \\world\n' # this is a raw-string print(my_str) # output = 'hello \\world\n' (quotes are not printed)

Chwenkam Adrian You need to escape your backslash by preceding it with, another backslash: Example: print("\\")

It actually annuls the " in print("\"). I would like to create a house with it.
