I'm a new python learner but I noticed inconsistent behavior of the backspace character when used in strings.  I'm running 2.7.10.  Whenever the backspace character '\b' is at the very end of a string, nothing happens, but if it is in the middle of string it behaves as expected.  

For example:
print "12345" + '\b'
returns:
>>>12345

But:
print "12345" + '\b' + '6'
returns:
>>> 12346
