when displaying a python string in console how do I make it parse the \r\n?

[Red Squirrel]

I really don't know how to search for this, not finding much on google. so say I have a string like this:

This is a line \r\nThis is another line

I want to print it to the console, and I want it to show up as:

This is a line
this is another line

Rather than the literal string.

I'm working with XML stuff and for debug purposes I have it print out the raw XML but it's all bunched up in one line and hard to read I just want it to actually "parse" the \r\n instead of actually displaying it.

text = "This is a line \r\nThis is another line"
list = text.split("\r\n")
print(*list, sep='\n')

Thanl's that worked, except I had to do "\\r\\n" in the split command so it detects the literal \ I thought there was maybe a simpler way but this works.

That's weird, single backslash worked for me. I tried double backslashes and it worked too.
