[python] How to print a single backslash?

When I write print('\') or print("\") or print("'\'"), Python doesn't print the backslash \ symbol. Instead it errors for the first two and prints '' for the second. What should I do to print a backslash?

You should escape it with another backslash \:

print('\\')

A backslash needs to be escaped with another backslash.

print('\\')

do you like it

print(fr"\{''}")

or how about this

print(r"\ "[0])

A hacky way of printing a backslash that doesn't involve escaping is to pass its character code to chr:

>>> print(chr(92))
\
