It works for me:
Python 3.0.1 (r301:69561, Feb 13 2009, 20:04:18) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> print ('The \"This is a test \" {')
The "This is a test " {

I guess you have redefined print() to use the latest style of string formatting:

Try using double braces {{
