title: Python adds x0 to integers
body: <p>I am very new to Python and am getting this small problem. I am using Python 3.3</p>
  
  <p>There is a variable I declared in my code</p>
  
  <pre><code>file_name = "resource\email\ham\6.txt"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, when I look for the variable, it appends additional numbers</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;file_name
  'resource\\email\\ham\x06.txt'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a reason why it behaves as so? If not, how do I remove those additional characters? Also, why are they there?</p>
