Python多行字符串丢失格式

Question

I am making a hangman game, which gets the hangman shape from a list. For some reason though, because each image is in a multiline string, somehow it loses formatting so that one line goes on the same as another.

Here's the code:

    '''

     ___________.._______
    | .__________))______|
    | | / /      ||
    | |/ /       ||
    | | /        ||.-''.
    | |/         |/  _  \
    | |          ||  `/,| #this line!
    | |          (\\`_.'
    | |          -`--'
    | |          |   |
    | |          |   |
    | |          |   |
    | |          | _ |
    | |          
    | |          
    | |          
    | |          
    | |         
    """"""""""""""""""""""""|
    |"|"""""""\ \       '"|"|
    | |        \ \        | |
    : :         \ \       : :  
    . .          `'       . .'''

Obviously, where it say's '#this line!', that's the one that moves up. I can provide the rest of the list if required.

Thanks! :)

Answer 1

Try escaping the \\ (backslash).

Clarification: the line before the line that moves up ends in a '\\', this character has special meaning, if you escape it by adding another '\\' it will work properly, so change it to '\\\\'.

Answer 2

The other thing you can do is to define your string as a raw string:

a = r '''

...

'''

Note the 'r' character before the string definition
