Ignoring escape sequences

Question

I'm using Python 2.6 and I have a variable which contains a string (I have sent it thorugh sockets and now I want to do something with it). The problem is that I get the following error:

TypeError: file() argument 1 must be encoded string without NULL bytes, not str

After I looked it up I found out that the problem is probably that the string I'm sending contains '\\0' but it isn't a literal string that I can just edit with double backslash or adding a 'r' before hand, so is there a way to tell python to ignore the escape sequences and treat the whole thing as string?

(For example - I don't want python to treat the sequence \\0 as a null char, but rather I want it to be treated as a backslash char followed by a zero char)

考虑到所有注释，它看起来好像使用了不正确的PIL / Pillow API，即需要文件名而不是文件数据的Image.open函数。
