Looking up raw string in the docs yields:
"String literals may optionally be prefixed with a letter "r" or "R"; 
such strings are called /raw strings/ and use different rules for 
interpreting backslash escape sequences."

Note that "raw string" is a form of string literal. The concept does not 
apply to other forms of strings.

 >>> x = r"\t"
 >>> x
'\\t'

I'm guessing you want

 >>> x.raw() # to display
r"\t"

Is that true. That's the only way I can interpret your question.

There is no such function that I'm aware of. One could easily write one.
