Print python code for \t escape character?

[Jeremy Rohrer]

What is the python code for printing this sentence? "The \t is the tab escape character."

[bvdet]

To print a backslash character: print "\\"

Thanks man, but I need to know how to print out that sentence so it looks the exactly same way in my script.

I want it to look like this: The \t is the tab escape character.

Whenever I do it though it looks like this:
The is the tab escape character.

Thanks for your help.

I gave you the answer, you just did not think about it. Add a backslash in front of the tab character.

If you are in Python 3, print is a function instead of a statement.

my fault. thank you.

No problem. I am glad to help. :)
