Print multiple line string in Jupyter notebook

Question

I'm trying to print a multiple line string to a Jupyter notebook. The problem is that \r and \n are printed literally and not interpreted as newlines.

Example:

import os
os.linesep.join(['first line', 'second line'])

I would expect this to print:

first line
second line

But it prints:

first line\r\nsecond line

Answer 1

You need to actually print it.

import os
print(os.linesep.join(['first line', 'second line']))
