Kristján Valur Jónsson <krist...@ccpgames.com> added the comment: That's true, but a it's a different point entirely You see, this is not a problem with backslashes only: If you have any kind of control caracter or high bit character in your filename, you may be in for trouble, because interpolating that string verbatim into the repr can cause uforeseen problems when it is printed out.
(and forward slashes are't the same as backslashes on windows. UNC paths (\\my-pc\my-share\...) need backslashes.) _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4927> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
