Backslash substitutions

Hello,

How would you perform backslash substitution in a string, just like the
Python parser does?

Example:
---
>>> s = "\\n"
>>> print s
\n
>>> print ???(s)


>>>
---
where '???' is a function that I wasn't able to find.

Just in case, another example:
---
>>> s = "\\\\A\\tB"
>>> print s
\\A\tB
>>> print ???(s)
\A      B
>>>
--- 

Thank you.
