How can I display a string with its rational expressions, such as '\'

Question

I want to display a rational expression using Python 3. Because it is stored in my variable, it applies the effect of the backslash on my terminal, here is the rational expression I try to display :

struct = "{}\"{}\"{}{}{}"

So what I am trying to find is an expression that prints all the string, including the '\'

Try using a raw string by appending r before the opening quote: struct = r"{}\"{}\"{}{}{}". — GordonAitchJay

What do you mean by "rational expression"? As defined, your string does not contain any backslashes; they are consumed during the construction of the string to escape the double quotes. — chepner

I mean like special characters who have an effect on the string, I kinda confused it with the bash rational expressions. But you are right, I didn't write any backslashes not consumed, all I wanted to do was display the ones who escape the double quote, but now I know that I can do so by typing 'r' just before the opening quote just as said by the comment above. — minimus_maximus

You can solve it like this:

struct = '{}\\"{}\\"{}{}{}'
