1No repro. There's no `\t` in my output. – Aran-Fey Sep 29 '18 at 06:56

Same here, where did you input this code to obtain the ``\t`` in the output? – Silmathoron Sep 29 '18 at 07:00

when i print(t). there's no \t in output – Longfei Dong Sep 29 '18 at 07:06

Jupyter should use the `pprint` module to output the last return or value of a cell. `pprint.pprint("\t")` in fact gives you `\t`, which differs from a normal `print("\t")`. – Jeronimo Sep 29 '18 at 07:16

This is a manifestation of jupyter notebook. When using str, which print uses by default, we get
rotation: 123% [note]
But when you type t into interactive python then repr() is used instead. It can be reproduced quite easily using any interactive python:
>>> t = ("rotation: %d%%\t [note]"% 123)
>>> t
'rotation: 123%\t [note]'
>>> print(t)
rotation: 123% [note]
The difference is that repr() gives a representation of the object such that it can be recreated by code and is most useful for debugging. str() (and print) gives a human (end-user) readable form.
See also: str() vs repr() functions in python 2.7.5 which also applies to python 3.
