Hello all,
I am writing a python script which has to access deep paths
then supported normally by the Windows OS (>255). So I am appending "\
\?\" to do so. But when I use the path in the above fashion with
os.chdir() it is unable to recognize my folder and throwing an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\JPDump\test.py", line 31, in <module>
renameStubs(file)
File "C:\JPDump\test.py", line 15, in renameStubs
os.chdir (path)
WindowsError: [Error 123] The filename, directory name, or volume
label syntax is incorrect: '\\?\\C:\\TestDataSet\
\Many_Files_10000_1KB_FIles\\001_0009_1000 FILES\\'
The value of my path variable is
\?\C:\TestDataSet\Many_Files_10000_1KB_FIles\001_0009_1000 FILES\
There need to be two backslashes at the beginning:
\\?\C:\TEST.....FILES\
Note the double backslash before the question mark.

I've another situation where os.chdir() function failed. Please find
the traceback pasted below:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\JPDump\test.py", line 29, in <module>
renameStubs(file)
File "C:\JPDump\test.py", line 12, in renameStubs
os.chdir (path)
WindowsError: [Error 206] The filename or extension is too long: '\\?\
\C:\\TestDataSet\\DeepPaths\\DeepPathLevel01\\DeepPathLevel02\
\DeepPathLevel03\\DeepPathLevel04\\DeepPathLevel05\\DeepPathLevel06\
\DeepPathLevel07\\DeepPathLevel08\\DeepPathLevel09\\DeepPathLevel10\
\DeepPathLevel11\\DeepPathLevel12\\DeepPathLevel13\\DeepPathLevel14\
\DeepPathLevel15\\DeepPathLevel16\\'
Try it as a unicode string:
os.chdir (ur"\\?\c:\test...\deep...")
