title: How to write string literals in python without having to escape them?
body: <p>Is there a way to declare a string variable in python such that everything inside of it is automatically escaped, or has its literal character value? </p>
  
  <p>I'm <em>not</em> asking how to escape the quotes with slashes, that's obvious. What I'm asking for is a general purpose way for making everything in a string literal so that I don't have to manually go through and escape everything for very large strings. Anyone know of a solution? Thanks!</p>
