hi
how can i sucessfully print |\| in the output of a print command
a = "|\|"
print a
but it gives me "|\\|"
i tried raw strings too, but it doesn't print |\| . It prints |\\|
instead
eventually, i also want |\| to be inside a list:
alist = ["|\|", 'blah', 'blah'] . How can i put |\| inside a

if you want to print "|\|", why are you printing the list?

hi
i want to print something like this
|\|
first i tried it as string
a = "|\|"
it prints ok
but when i put it to a list
a = ["|\|"]
it gives me '|\\|' .there are 2 back slashes...i only want one.. how
can i properly escape it?
I have tried [r"|\|"] , [r'\\'] but they do not work...
thanks
