backslash in reading bytes

[Dravidan]

I am trying to read some byte data as a string then using a library to
convert them a code:

>>>reader = csv.DictReader(open('table.txt'))
>>>def eleFind(value):
>>> for row in reader:
>>> if row['byteCode'] == value:
>>> print row['Element']
>>> return
>>> else:
>>> print "No Match Found:"
>>>eleFind('\x00\x00')

My table contains:

\x00\x00,
\x01\x00,
..

The program errors out.  How can I fix/overide this backslash issue.

It looks like the backslash is messing the whole thing up so I
reposted to try to find out how to get over the backslash hump.
