It depends on which command line you are using. Most Unix-like shells will allow you to input a control character by preceding it with ^V. Since \t is the TAB character, you should be able to input it like this: $ python -c 'import sys; print sys.argv' '^V<tab>' ['-c', '\t'] # note single backslash -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
