Escape for str in Python

Question

Wow, this should be so simple, but it\' just not working. I need to inset a \"\\\" into a string (for a Bash command), but escaping just doesn\'t work.

Answer 1

The second example is correct. There are two slashes because you are printing the Python representation of the string.

If you want to see the actual string, call print a.
