Global Variable requires extra cleanup in Python Scripts

Hellos

Earlier we hardcoded a path location , which worked fine in python script 
tokens_json_path = r'F:\basecamp\json.token'

When the same was stored in a variable as #pm_bc# = F:\basecamp\json.token , it requires the stripping of additional \\\\ to \\ to work 
    tokens_json_path = etltools.GetVariable('#pm_bc#').replace('\\\\','\\').strip()

I did try storing it with single quote or double quote , but the result was same. Backlash escaping is very aggressive. 

If we can't change this behaviour , so then we can add it as a FAQ
