Comment(by rransom):

 Replying to [comment:1 atagar]:
 > Hi respice, thanks for the bug report! What and how tor escapes things
 is a little confused right now (for more on that see #4600).

 This bug report is about Stem handling escapes in a completely broken way,
 not about Tor having different incompatible escaping conventions for input
 and output of quoted strings.

 > Just to make sure, you're saying that '\\t' is being misconverted to a
 tab, right? If so then I expect that tor's raw response is '\\\\t' (since
 it should be escaping the slashes).

 Unlikely.

 Depending on which hash function (and which key) Python is using, Stem
 will convert the sequence of characters “`\\t`” to either “`\<tab>`” or
 “`<tab>`”.
