How to $ as a string in a python template and not as a variable?

Question

t1 = Template('rnote over $actor #MintCream \n <$triangle{scale=5}> \n end note')

$triangle is treated as a variable but I want to use it as a symbol. how is it done?

if I understand you correctly, this should do the trick:

t1 = Template(r'note over $actor #MintCream \n <$triangle{scale=5}> \n end note')
