I have a string s, its contents are variable. I'd like to make it a raw string. How do I go about this?
Something similar to the r'' method.

In Python, when you prefix a string with the letter r or R such as r'...' and R'...' , that string becomes a raw string. Unlike a regular string, a raw string treats the backslashes ( \ ) as literal characters.
Python raw string is created by prefixing a string literal with 'r' or 'R'. Python raw string treats backslash (\) as a literal character. This is useful when we want to have a string that contains backslash and don't want it to be treated as an escape character.
Python strings are "immutable" which means they cannot be changed after they are created (Java strings also use this immutable style). Since strings can't be changed, we construct *new* strings as we go to represent computed values.
A raw string in programming allows all characters in a string literal to remain the same in code and in the material, rather than performing their standard programming functions. Raw strings are denoted with the letter r, or capital R, and might look something like this: R “(hello)”
i believe what you're looking for is the str.encode("string-escape") function. For example, if you have a variable that you want to 'raw string':
a = '\x89' a.encode('unicode_escape') '\\x89' Note: Use string-escape for python 2.x and older versions
I was searching for a similar solution and found the solution via: casting raw strings python

Raw strings are not a different kind of string. They are a different way of describing a string in your source code. Once the string is created, it is what it is.
