Escapse sequences???

[Arinté]

I am trying to write this escape seq to a device from python
"H\x1b\x23\x12art\x1b\x23\x01\n"
The \x1b\x23\x12 is supposed to be a command to tell the device to do
something special with "art", but python is making it look like this
\x1b\x23\x12a "rt".  Am I missing something on how to work with escape
sequences?  Is there another way to write hex values in a string.  I
rather use \x00 because that is what are testers are familiar with.

I guess I need 8bit sized escapes and not 16bit.

Thanks
