I do not understand Python raw string
<p>The python doc says:</p>

</blockquote>

<p>I do not quite understand, as it says <em>the newline character in the source is inclued in the string as data</em>, but the <code>\n</code> just be printed literally as in the following example. </p>

<pre><code>hello = r"This is a rather long string containing\n\
several lines of text much as you would do in C."

print(hello)
</code></pre>

<p>Can any kind helper help me understand <em>but the backslash at the end of the line, and the newline character in the source, are both included in the string as data?</em></p>
