if that's Python source code, your string
|
|
actually contains:
|
|
|
|
(1, "abc\tef", 2)
|
|
|
|
since \\ is Python's string representation
|
|
for a single backslash (that is, \\ in the
|
|
source code becomes \ in the actual
|
|
string).
|
|
|
|
and \t is an alias for \011 (a tab).
|
|
|
|
try printing it (using print) to see what
|
|
I mean.
|
|
|
|
but I doubt that this is the real problem --
|
|
if you have these strings in Python source
|
|
code, you could as well use your editor
|
|
to remove the quotes, right?
|
|
|
|
so if you get the data from a file or any
|
|
other external source, the plain eval
|
|
solutions work as they should. for
|
|
simple data types like this,
|
|
|
|
v == eval(repr(v))
|
|
|
|
is always true.
