Given a string (read from a file) which contains raw escape sequences,

string, where the escape sequence has been replaced (specifically, by a
NEWLINE token)?
I don't know what your actual requirement is but maybe this fits:
exec("print '%s'" % x)
Lots of fun when preceded by:
x = "'; sys.exit(); print 'b"
or far nastier things. Exec is the same level of dangerous as eval.
