The character '\' is an escape character. It won't 
show just like '\n' at the end of a line doesn't 
show.
To show it must be preceeded by another '\' like 
this '\\'

figgure out a way to start with '\\' and you'll be 
ok.


x =   str.split('\\xc5\\xeb\\xc7\\xd5\\xbc', '\\')

print x, '## x on line 10 == \n\n\n'  
### '\n' won't show on printed line

print x, '## x on line 15 == \\n'   
###  '\n'  will show on printed line

for n in x:
  n= '\\'+n
  print n
