Ah, it's a common trap of the Python syntax (and PHP, and C, and ... languages). "\" is a special character, you have to escape it: "\\". "C:\\Users\\Alkor\\Desktop\\a3434.raw" or simply use the "raw" string syntax: r"C:\Users\Alkor\Desktop\a3434.raw" ---------- nosy: +haypo resolution: -> invalid _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17280> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
