print to new line using mel.eval('print "...\n"') not working

[martin.puttkammer]

using:
print "...\n"

in mel produces three dots and a line break

using:
import maya.mel as mel
mel.eval(' print "...\n"')

from the python tab produces an error.

if printing without new line then the history of the script editor
gets messed up.
what am i missing?

thanks,
martin

You have to escape the backslash, so:

import maya.mel as mel
mel.eval(' print "...\\n"')

so easy and so annyoing.
