Remove character from a string until a special character python : I have a string like this.

    config =\
     {"status":"None",
     "numbers":["123", "123", "123"],
     "schedule":None,
     "data":{
            "x": "y"
            }
    }

I would like to remove the config=\ from the string and get a result like this. 

    {"status":"None",
         "numbers":["123", "123", "123"],
         "schedule":None,
         "data":{
                 "x": "y"
                 }
        }

How can I get this using python regex? Would like to consider the multiline factor as well!!
