将代码从py2迁移到py3时如何替换encode('string_escape')

Question

The 'string_escape' is removed from py3, and I can't find a way to replace the encode('string_escape') when migrating code from py2 to py3. Can someone help me?

My code in py2:

a = '["\\\"\\\""]'
print(a.encode('string_escape'))

Expected output:

["\\"\\""]

What should I do in py3?

Thanks @Jan Wilamowski. Got the answer.

>>> a = '["\\\"\\\""]'
>>> print(a.encode('unicode_escape').decode('utf-8'))
["\\"\\""]
