Check out repr() in the docs: http://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html?highlight=repr#repr ChrisA

In one case, you just mention a value, and the debugger magically calls repr() on the expression. So it adds quotes around it, and turns embedded funny stuff into escape sequences, because that's what repr() does on a string. In the second case, you call Python's print function (assuming python 3, which you didn't specify). it does not call repr(), but just sends the characters direct to the console. if you want to see the escape characters in the second case, you should have either said: >>>fred or >>>print(repr(fred)) -- DaveA
