How to remove duplicates of a single character in string python?

I have a string like this:
$$\\int_{-\\infty}^{\\infty}\\int_{-\\infty}^{\\infty}{{e^{(x+y)}}^2}dxdy$$

but what i want is:
$$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}{{e^{(x+y)}}^2}dxdy$$

Is there a way to do that?

>Solution :

First of all, if this is a string literal, then it will properly escape the slash, and you will get the result you want:

print("$$\\int_{-\\infty}^{\\infty}\\int_{-\\infty}^{\\infty}{{e^{(x+y)}}^2}dxdy$$")

Otherwise, you could just replace the characters with one of it:

string = "$$\\int_{-\\infty}^{\\infty}\\int_{-\\infty}^{\\infty}{{e^{(x+y)}}^2}dxdy$$"

string = string.replace(r'\\', '\\')
