title: Why `\n` not working in Python
body: <p>I'm trying following example :</p>
  
  <p><code>python -c "import sys; print sys.argv[1]" "test\ntest"</code></p>
  
  <p>Output :</p>
  
  <pre><code>test\ntest
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I want following </p>
  
  <pre><code>test 
  test
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Update 1#
  As @devnull suggested can solve the problem if user itself pass the with <code>$</code> but how about python should take care of this ?</p>

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but output :</p>
  
  <pre><code>$test\ntest
