Please help on print string that contains 'tab' and 'newline'

[Jason Qian]

Thanks for taking look this.


The source of the string is std::string from our c code as callback .
On the python side is shows as bytes.

Is there way we can reformat the string that replace \r\n with newline, so
python can correctly print it ?

Thanks
