This is the behavior I need:
path = path.replace('\\', '\\\\')
msg = ". {} .. '{}' .. {} .".format(a, path, b)
Is there a better way?
This works for me:
a = "spam"
b = "ham"
path = r"C:\a\b\c\d\e.txt"
msg = ". %s .. %r .. %s ." % (a, path, b)
print msg
. spam .. 'C:\\a\\b\\c\\d\\e.txt' .. ham .
I like this one. Since I read somewhere that 'format' is preferred over
'%', I was focusing on 'format' and I didn't think of '%'.
Anyway, it's odd that 'format' doesn't offer something similar.

If you look at http://docs.python.org/library/string.html#format-string-syntax
you'll notice the equiv. of %r is {!r}
I thought that '%r' stood for 'raw' and not 'repr'. I didn't even notice
that Steven removed the single-quotes from msg.
I don't even need to escape single-quotes then: repr() does exactly what
I need.
