The script is very simple (abc.txt exists in ROOTDIR directory):import os import shutil ROOTDIR = 'C:\Users\zoran' file1 = os.path.join(ROOTDIR, 'abc.txt') file2 = os.path.join(ROOTDIR, 'def.txt') shutil.move(file1, file2) But it returns the following error: C:\Python34\python.exe C:/Users/bckslash_test.py File "C:/Users/bckslash_test.py", line 4 ROOTDIR = 'C:\Users' ^ SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape Process finished with exit code 1 As I saw, I could solve the problem by changing line 4 to (small letter "r" before string: ROOTDIR = r'C:\Users\zoran' but that is not an option for me because I am using configparser in order to read the ROOTDIR from underlying cfg file. I need a mechanism to read the path string with single backslashes into a variable, but afterwards to escape every backslash in it. How to do that?
If you're reading the path from a file, it's not a problem. Try it! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
