What about "echoing" the > list:>>> str(alist).replace('\\\\','\\')"['a', 'b', 'c:\\some\\path']" The \ character is used as an escape character, to represent some non-printable chars and other special purposes. By example, '\n' consists of ONLY ONE character, a "linefeed" (or "new line") character. py> txt = "Hello\nworld!" py> len(txt) 12 py> print txt Hello world! 12 = 5 for "Hello" plus new line (1 char) plus 5 for "world" plus 1 final "!" '\t' is a tab character, '\x7E' is a tilde ~, '\'' is a single quote... (If you want the whole story, see http://docs.python.org/ref/strings.html) To represent a SINGLE backslash inside a string, you have to use '\\' py> bs = '\\' py> print len(bs) 1 py> print bs \ py> print repr(bs) '\\' This is a SINGLE character, only one backslash. repr() has to use two backslashes and quotes around, but that's how repr works. py> wrong = 'C:\abcde\fgh\ijklm\no' py> print wrong C:bcde♀gh\ijklm o py> print len(wrong) 18 py> good = 'C:\\abcde\\fgh\\ijklm\\no' py> print good C:\abcde\fgh\ijklm\no py> print len(good) 21 Another way is to use a raw string. A raw string supresses the special meaning of \ inside a string literal, and is indicated by a lowercase r before the opening quote: py> raw = r'C:\abcde\fgh\ijklm\no' py> print raw C:\abcde\fgh\ijklm\no py> print len(raw) 21 Going back to your example: > Because in my script I'm echoing the list to mount lists into lists, > like:>>> list1 = ['name', 'test'] >>> list2 = ['path', 'c:\some\path'] This is wrong, and you already should know hot to write it: either list2 = ['path', 'c:\\some\\path'] or list2 = ['path', r'c:\some\path'] > Is it possible to print "list" without the doubled backslash? print list2 will always print it using the doubled backslashes (and [ ] around it). Print each value individually: py> for item in list2: ... print item ... path c:\some\path Or tell us exactly what output you want, and we'll try to help more. The important thing to remember is that '\\' is the way to *show* or *represent* a single backslash in a string. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
