You need to escape your backslash by preceding it with  yes  another backslash   print         And for versions prior to Python 3   print        The   character is called an escape character  which interprets the character following it differently  For example  n by itself is simply a letter  but when you precede it with a backslash  it becomes  n  which is the newline character   As you can probably guess    also needs to be escaped so it doesn t function like an escape character  You have to    escape the escape  essentially   See the Python 3 documentation for string literals
