Yes, and the answer was a week ago: just put "r" before the string. r"C:\programs\util" And it worked till now. So why should I replace backslashes with forward slashes? There is one issue that I can't write \ on the end: r"C:\programs\util\" But since I know it's a path and not a file, I just write without trailing \. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
