i select the element

video=soup_product.select_one("div.col-lg-6:nth-of-type(3)>iframe")

and this is printing result :

<iframe allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"170\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/JwG10b9HtZQ\" width=\"305\"></iframe>

i tried too replace the backslash with replace function

str(video).replace('\', '')

but it show error
