so i'm using yaml configuration files , py yaml parse it. 1 field have like:

host: hostname\server,5858

but when gets parsed here get:

{ "host": "hostname\\server,5858" }

with 2 backslashes. tried every combination of single quotes, double quotes, etc. what's best way parse correctly ? thanks

len("\\") == 1. see representation of string python string literal. backslash has special meaning in python literal e.g., "\n" single character (a newline). literal backslash in string, should escaped "\\".
