How can I print this string with backslash

I need to store 'http:\/\/shop.muchticket.com\/' in a variable. And then save it in a dictionary. I have tried several different methods, but none of them seems to work, here are some examples of what I've tried:

url = 'http:\/\/shop.muchticket.com\/'
print url

>> http:\\/\\/shop.muchticket.com\\/

With raw

url = r'http:\/\/shop.muchticket.com\/'
print url

>> http:\\/\\/shop.muchticket.com\\/

With the escape character

url = 'http:\\/\\/shop.muchticket.com\\/'
print url

>> http:\\/\\/shop.muchticket.com\\/

Raw and escape character

url = r'http:\\/\\/shop.muchticket.com\\/'
print url

>> http:\\\\/\\\\/shop.muchticket.com\\\\/

Escape character and decode

url = 'http:\\/\\/shop.muchticket.com\\/'
print url.decode('string_escape')

>> http:\\/\\/shop.muchticket.com\\/

Decode only

url = 'http:\/\/shop.muchticket.com\/'
print url.decode('string_escape')

>> http:\\/\\/shop.muchticket.com\\/
