Guido van Rossum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:
No, re.sub()'s documentation
(http://docs.python.org/library/re.html#re.sub)
makes it clear that \ followed by n in the replacement string is
interpreted.
To insert \ followed by n you have to double the \ inside the raw string
like this:
>>> re.sub('a', r'\\n', 'abba')
'\\nbb\\n'
>>>
