You should not be using a backslash in non-raw-string source to mean anything but "escape the next character." The above should either be written as: if exists(r"c:\projects"): or: if exists("c:\\projects"): I suspect you problem has to do with this difference, but perhaps not. Give exact short code that actually demonstrates the problem. --Scott David Daniels [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
