One Python trick that is essential when dealing with backslashes is
the r"text" construction. Preceding any literal string with the
letter 'r' tells Python not to interpret backslashes (and any other
'special meaning' character) as anything except a normal character.
So if you have a Windows server that is: \\MySystem\MyServer, you can
represent that easiest in Python by using: r"\\MySystem\MyServer".
This trick comes in handy for both Windows pathing and when creating
regular expressions, where you want the backslash interpreted by the
re module, not the Python string handler.
So try the permutations above, but use: user=r"\\Emcorp\billw"
