How can i apply raw string notation on input from the user? For exmple, i want to get path from the user and enforce raw string notation on it, so if the input is something like: "\path\the\user\chose" it will be accepted to the raw input / be converted later to r"\path\the\user\chose"

    Raw string notation is only for writing literals -- if you accept user input with backslashes in it, they will behave fine. No "conversion" is necessary. Commented Oct 14, 2016 at 9:02

I tried this path = input(r'Input your path:')

It seems that path is something like paht = \path\the\user\chose

By the way, I use Python3.
